Summary of the contracting process

The Co-op Academies Trust procured building-cleaning services for 18 sites across the North West of England. The requirement was divided into three geographic lots: Manchester and Liverpool, Staffordshire, and West Yorkshire, with suppliers able to address the lots individually or as a whole. The named buying organisation is The Co-operative Academy of Manchester, acting for the academies requirement. This is a services contract for routine cleaning of education buildings and associated sites. The published classification is building-cleaning services (CPV 90911200). The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to regional cleaning contractors and larger providers with the operational reach to cover multiple academy locations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 17 July 2026 following an open procedure. The tender closed on 27 April 2026 at 10:00. The contract covers the period from 1 September 2026 to 24 August 2029. The awarded value is £452,822. RCCN LTD and Glen Cleaning Co Ltd were jointly named as the successful suppliers. The requirement comprised three lots covering Manchester and Liverpool, Staffordshire, and West Yorkshire, with the option to tender for the lots separately or as a whole. Evaluation was conducted through the open competition; the available record identifies the procedure but does not provide the weighting or detailed award criteria.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-site demand for education-sector building cleaning across several areas of England. A credible future competitor would need to deliver consistent cleaning standards across 18 academy sites, organise staff and supervision across geographically dispersed locations, and manage mobilisation between sites without disrupting school operations. Regional contractors may be well placed where they can cover one or more of the geographic areas, while larger providers or coordinated partnerships may suit an all-lots operating model. The requirement was open to SMEs, so scale alone is not decisive; demonstrable capacity, reliable site-level management, experience delivering contracted building cleaning, and the ability to coordinate a multi-site service would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next tests the market.
