Summary of the contracting process

The Bay Learning Trust is inviting tenders for a multi-supplier framework to provide cleaning services for its schools. The framework aims to procure services for 4 schools initially, with the possibility of more schools joining later. The trust plans to start the cleaning contract in August 2024 for specific schools in the Lancaster area. The procurement process involves a selection of bidders based on submitted documents, followed by site surveys and tender briefings in March 2024. The tender response deadline is set for late April 2024, with interviews scheduled for mid-May. The contract is expected to last for 5 years, with the option to extend for additional years.

This opportunity to provide cleaning services for The Bay Learning Trust schools requires bidders to demonstrate a good local infrastructure and the ability to maintain high cleaning standards. Businesses with experience in school cleaning services and a turnover of at least £250,000 are well-suited to compete. The tender process involves meeting specific financial criteria, including compulsory liability insurance. Successful bidders will gain a 5-year contract with potential extensions, offering a stable and long-term business opportunity within the education sector.
