Summary of the contracting process

The Aspirational Futures Multi Academy Trust is undergoing an active tender process, managed by RPJ3 Group Limited, to establish a multi-supplier framework for cleaning services targeting their schools. This tender is involved in the services category and aligns with the CPV code 90919300, specifically tailored towards school cleaning services within the United Kingdom, particularly in the region UKD4. The procurement method applied is a selective competitive flexible procedure, which began with the participation stage in July 2025, aiming for a contract to start on 3rd November 2025. Critical information, including tender response deadlines, interview schedules, and award periods, is outlined for prospective bidders, with key deadlines such as Expression of Interest by 1st July 2025 and interviews from mid-September 2025.

This framework offers substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in cleaning services, especially those with robust local infrastructure and the capability to meet the Trust's flexible and best value demands. Suitable candidates include SMEs and larger companies able to provide comprehensive service support and have a minimum turnover of 250,000 GBP. The calculated contract value of up to 1.8 million GBP signifies a lucrative opportunity spanning up to five years, with the potential for renewal. Companies that can substantiate their financial stability and qualitative competencies will likely excel, especially as the tender incorporates stringent criteria for both financial schedules, weighing 55%, and qualitative submissions, at 45%. Such a tender process can help businesses grow by gaining substantial educational sector contracts, promoting regional business sustainability and expansion within the cleaning services industry.

Notice Title

Aspirational Futures MAT Framework Cleaning Tender 2025

Notice Description

The Aspirational Futures Multi Academy Trust are seeking to procure a number of providers for a multi-supplier framework for cleaning services. The main objective of this procurement exercise is to deliver the procurement of a framework that will enable the trust to source cleaning services for its schools. There is initially one school in this framework, however, other schools may call off later. It should be noted that it is not mandatory for trust schools to use this framework. Schools will only call off from this agreement if they have a requirement to do so. It is envisaged the number of contractors on the framework will be between 1 and 3 The provision of the service must demonstrate the best value approach and be flexible in its delivery and operation to ensure that the needs and ethos of individual schools are supported. This framework process is targeted to have a cleaning contract in place to commence in November 2025 for the initial direct award school. Please note that this process covers all cleaning services within the Aspirational Futures Multi Academy Trust school with full tender costings and proposals for the school for a contract start in in November 2025 for the initial direct award school. These details will be further explained in the ITT documents. The process will be through a competitive flexible procedure commencing with a participation stage to create a select bidder list following analysis of a PSQ document (within which the scoring criteria will be included). The nature of the contract demands a good local infrastructure to provide and maintain the level and standard of cleaning service and support required by the Trust. Labour resource/relief cover is very important. We have set a minimum level of turnover for this tender at 250,000 GBP which takes into account the contract turnover and cash flow associations. This is a discretionary pass/fail question on the basis that we will consider any additional guarantees and formal assurances such as parent company guarantors or similar which must be included to support any submission. We have set a minimum Employer's (compulsory) liability insurance of 10,000,000 GBP). Following the analysis of PSQ's the selected bidders will be invited to attend a site survey and tender briefing initially planned for early July 2025. Tender response deadline is planned as late July 2025 and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in mid September 2025. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period (5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).
