Summary of the contracting process

Remarkable Autism, a sub-central government public authority based in Warrington, United Kingdom, has initiated a tender process for a cleaning contract. The tender, titled "Remarkable Autism Cleaning Tender 2025," seeks to engage services for Wargrave House School, Ascent College, the charity's central office, and a small hub building. The competitive flexible procedure involves initial participation through a PSQ (Pre-Submission Questionnaire) followed by a selection of bidders for further stages, including site surveys and interviews. Key dates include an expression of interest deadline on 8th April 2025, PSQ analysis and site surveys in late-April 2025, with final submission by late-May 2025, and interviews in mid-June 2025. The contract is planned to commence on 1st September 2025 and runs for three years, extendable by two additional one-year periods, with an estimated total contract value of £3,600,000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in school cleaning services, particularly those with established local infrastructure capable of providing necessary labour and relief cover. The expected insurance requirements are Employer's Liability Insurance of £10,000,000, Public Liability Insurance of £5,000,000, Professional Indemnity Insurance of £1,000,000, and Product Liability Insurance of £5,000,000. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with robust operational and financial capacity to meet these obligations and deliver high-quality, value-driven cleaning services are well-suited for this competitive tender, which aims to support the unique needs and ethos of the Remarkable Autism Charity.
