Summary of the contracting process

Bourne Alliance Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) has finalised the procurement process for a comprehensive daily cleaning service contract, catered specifically to educational institutions within Sittingbourne, United Kingdom, such as Aspire School, Bobbing Village School, Grove Park School, and Iwade School. The contract, categorised under school cleaning services, was successfully awarded to Purgo Supply Services Limited as of 23 May 2025, with commencement slated for 23 July 2025. The procurement was conducted through a restricted procedure, incurring a contract value of £1,736,362.91 with an initial term of three years and options to extend it for another two years, in segments of 12 months each. This rigorous tendering process entailed a standstill period for the award stage, allowing potential challenges to be raised under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that supply cleaning services, as it aligns with the long-term nature of the contract and allows for significant engagement within the educational sector. Companies possessing experience in large-scale cleaning operations, particularly those familiar with adherence to Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations, are well-positioned to compete for such contracts. By engaging in the competitive tendering process, especially one with objective standards outlined, businesses can enhance their portfolios through collaboration with significant educational institutions like Bourne Alliance MAT.
