Summary of the contracting process

St Christopher's Multi Academy Trust is seeking contractors to provide outsourced cleaning services across multiple educational institutions within the UK. This procurement, classified under CPV code 90919300 for school cleaning services, falls under the services category. The process is initiated as a tender with key dates including an amendment to extend bid submission deadline to 6th May 2025. Located in Exeter, Devon, the contract was signed on 1st August 2025 with a value of £3,000,000 and covers a three-year period with options for two annual extensions, potentially extending to 31st July 2030. The procurement method used is an open procedure, aligning with the legal basis CELEX 32014L0024 under the GPA agreement.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cleaning services to expand their portfolio by servicing a network of educational facilities. Companies with expertise in high-quality cleaning solutions, including daily maintenance and periodic deep cleaning, are well-suited to compete, especially those capable of ensuring compliance with legal and health regulations. The focus on quality (60%) and price (40%) within the award criteria suggest that both large-scale contractors and SMEs can bid effectively, catering to specific needs like effective management communication and operational safety integration across schools in regions such as Torbay, Exeter & East Devon, and Plymouth & West Devon. Current successful supplier Direct Cleaning Services, an SME, exemplifies the potential for smaller enterprises to thrive in this contract environment.
