Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for providing cleaning services at Chosen Hill School & Sixth Form in Gloucester has reached the contract award stage. The buying organisation, Chosen Hill School, seeks a supplier to manage cleaning services over a three-year period starting 1 April 2026 with potential for extensions up to 2031. This tender falls under the industry category of school cleaning services and follows an open procurement method with a competitive flexible procedure. The award, pending as of 29 May 2026, was given to Atlas FM Limited trading as Atlas Education with an anticipated contract value of approximately £1,147,500. This contract also stipulates a fixed annual subsidy, indicating a guaranteed performance basis for the selected supplier.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large cleaning service providers equipped to handle educational facilities. With an estimated student population of 1,300, including an expanding sixth form, the demand for high-standard cleaning services is considerable. The tender process thus favours suppliers demonstrating excellent cleaning service delivery, robust management, and financial stability, with Atlas Education emerging successful among six finalists, including two SMEs. Due to the scale and fixed annual subsidy model, larger organisations with the capacity for guaranteed service performance would be well-suited to compete for future extensions of this contract.
