Summary of the contracting process

The Co-operative Academy of Manchester procured total facilities management services for three schools: Co-op Academy Nightingale, Co-op Academy Woodlands and Co-op Academy New Islington. The requirement covers building and facilities management, including facilities management services, for the schools as a combined multi-site service. The work is associated with Manchester, with the buying organisation based at Central Trust in Manchester. This is a services procurement rather than a supply or construction contract. The named schools are the operational locations, while the buyer is The Co-operative Academy of Manchester. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to facilities management providers with the organisational capacity to coordinate delivery across several academy sites.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Dalkia Operations on 16 July 2026 for £1,120,161. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender deadline was 26 May 2026 at 13:00. The opportunity was published on 20 April 2026. It was evaluated as a building and facilities management services requirement, with the additional classification of facilities management services. The award is active. The contract covers the three named Co-op Academy schools as one total facilities management requirement. The award information identifies one selected supplier, Dalkia Operations, and one awarded value; no separate lot awards are reported.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a substantial multi-site facilities management requirement from The Co-operative Academy of Manchester. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide building and facilities management across three academy settings, coordinate services consistently between sites and manage delivery for an education-sector client. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs, so the relevant market includes smaller providers with sufficient operational capacity, management systems and resources for a combined school contract. Providers able to demonstrate dependable service coordination, responsive facilities management and the ability to manage a portfolio of academy buildings would be well placed when this buyer next considers the same requirement. The incumbent and the contract structure also provide a clear benchmark for the scale and breadth of service expected.
