The school, a voluntary-aided secondary school for girls aged 11-16 in the London Borough of Newham, is the buying organisation. The procurement seeks to secure a contract for high-quality cleaning services over three years, beginning on 1st April 2026 with the potential for a two-year extension. The open procurement method was employed, featuring a competitive flexible procedure, aligning with the school's aim for excellent facility maintenance to support education excellence. The awarded contract is valued at £1,245,578.36 gross and focuses on improving cleaning services both during term time and throughout the year.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses skilled in providing comprehensive cleaning services and those looking to implement innovative cleaning solutions in schools. Ideal candidates would be businesses that can offer highly managed cleaning operations and foster a productive, developing workforce. The tender process welcomed participation from small and medium enterprises (SMEs), although the contract was ultimately awarded to D Brice & Company Limited T/as D B Services, a large organisation. The contract's flexibility for renewal and the focus on quality over the lowest cost ensures room for suppliers driven by collaborative partnerships and those with a vision for enhancing service delivery to thrive in this competitive environment.
