Notice Information
Notice Title
School Cleaning Services
Notice Description
The Academy schools have historically procured their own suppliers to carry out the cleaning activities. Some Unity schools also utilise either a mix of contractor and inhouse staff or are fully staffed with their own cleaners. The ambition of Unity is to have all schools under one contract, but it will be left to the Heads of each school to determine what's best for them. This contract will be for six schools with the option to add more at a later date.
