This tender follows the Restricted procedure and covers services to be delivered starting from 1 September 2024 for Matthew Arnold School and 2 December 2024 for Wood Green School, with the contract potentially extending up to five years. Important dates include the tender's closing on 27 March 2024 and the commencement of services in September and December 2024 respectively. The awarded supplier, Premier Support Services, will provide services valued at £810,159 and £717,169 for each site respectively.

For businesses in the facilities management and cleaning services sectors, this completed tender represents significant contract opportunities, specifically for those looking to establish or grow their market presence in the educational sector. Considering the sizeable values of the contracts, which span an initial three-year period extendable up to five years, this creates a substantial and sustained stream of income for service providers.
