Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for cleaning services at East Barnet School, a secondary school located in Barnet, North London, has been completed, with the contracting authority being the school itself. The tender, titled "PP-10158 East Barnet School Cleaning," falls under the services industry category for school cleaning services (CPV: 90919300). The procurement followed a competitive flexible procedure and was managed on the In-Tend portal. The contract is set to run from 1st January 2026 until 31st December 2028, with an option for two additional one-year extensions, making the maximum potential end date 31st December 2030. The procurement method used was selective, indicating a strategic selection of potential suppliers rather than an open bidding process.

The successful bidder, Pendergate Limited, trading as Kindred, has been awarded the contract, bringing forth substantial prospects for other similar businesses to establish or expand their portfolio in the educational sector. The estimated contract value highlights the scale of the opportunity, which also includes considerations for potential labour and consumables inflation, emphasizing the need for financially robust companies capable of managing long-term service agreements.
