The contract, titled "EPT-68555 - Lot 2," falls under the industry category of sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services. The procurement was carried out using a limited award procedure without prior publication, under a further competition within a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded on 29th September 2025 to Bulloughs Cleaning Services Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Skipton, United Kingdom. The contract’s value is £631,767, and it includes an option for extension with specific terms.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the cleaning and environmental services sector, particularly for SMEs looking to expand their client base within the educational institutions' segment. With Hope Wood Academy serving a combined capacity of 270 pupils across two locations, companies specialising in facilities management, sanitation, and related services would find this contract beneficial. Vendors equipped to offer competitive pricing and high-quality service, as determined by the evaluation criteria (40% quality, 60% price), are particularly well-suited to compete in similar opportunities, ensuring future growth and stable revenue streams. The involvement of a DPS also highlights potential downstream opportunities as businesses remain pre-qualified for further similar procurements.
