The requirement covers regular, routine cleaning during normal school operations, together with more specific periodic cleaning outside term time. The purpose is to reset expectations for cleaning provision, improve staff morale and establish consistent cleaning standards across the Trust. This is a services contract for organisations able to manage cleaning delivery across a multi-site education estate. The Trust is the buying organisation. The sites are associated with the Trust’s operations in Telford and Shropshire, with the buyer’s address in Telford, England. The service category is school cleaning services, classified under CPV 90919300.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 19 October 2026 at 10:00 British Summer Time. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend for a further one year plus one year. The estimated total value is £3,154,888.86 excluding any stated currency variation, in GBP. The extensions will be measured against agreed key performance indicators from the first day of the contract. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bidders should review the tender requirements and submit their offer using the buyer’s specified supplier portal.

This opportunity suits commercial cleaning contractors with the operational capacity to deliver consistent services across 11 school sites in Telford and Shropshire. Relevant suppliers will need to organise regular day-to-day cleaning alongside periodic work scheduled outside term time, while coordinating people, standards and performance across multiple locations. The requirement places importance on the staff delivering the service, including improving morale and establishing clear expectations from the outset. Contractors should therefore be able to recruit, manage, support and deploy cleaning personnel reliably across an education setting, and monitor delivery against agreed key performance indicators from day one. The stated SME suitability makes the contract relevant to established regional cleaning businesses as well as larger multi-site providers.
