This tender, titled "PP-10153 Brunel Academies Trust Cleaning," falls within the services category. Managed through a selective procurement method using a competitive flexible procedure, this contract covers a three-year period starting on 1st November 2025, with the potential to extend for two additional one-year terms, depending on the client's discretion. The final contract, awarded to Imperial Cleaning Services South West Limited, has an estimated total value of £1,300,000 excluding VAT over five years. This process reached its award stage on 23rd October 2025, following a planning and tendering phase that welcomed expressions of interest until 29th April 2025.

Companies with experience in delivering high-quality cleaning solutions to educational institutions and managing inflationary adjustments linked to wage increases would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, engaging in such contracts can enhance a company's portfolio and provide a steady revenue stream over several years, factoring in the possible contractual extensions. The structured two-stage tendering process, focusing on both quality and price, ensures that only well-qualified suppliers are shortlisted, aligning with the client's quality and cost expectations.
