Summary of the contracting process

The RPJ3 Group has initiated a procurement process for cleaning services at Cardinal Heenan and Broughton Hall Catholic High Schools, alongside their joint 6th form centre. This tender is classified under the school cleaning services industry category and must ensure a best value approach with flexibility to cater to the specific needs of the schools involved. The process, which began on 6th October 2025, aims for a contract start date of 29th May 2026. The project is located in the UK, specifically in region UKD72. Following a selective procurement method, the competitive flexible procedure commences with a pre-selection questionnaire (PSQ), moving on to site surveys and tender briefings anticipated in December 2025. The deadline for tender responses is early January 2026, with interviews expected in February, culminating in a contract award by 5th February 2026. The contract spans three years with the possibility of extensions for an additional two years, reaching a potential five-year duration.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses with strong local infrastructure capable of maintaining high standards of cleaning services. Suitable contenders would ideally be organisations equipped to meet a minimum turnover level of £250,000 annually, with sufficient labour resources for effective service delivery. Small and medium enterprises, as well as larger companies, can benefit from this opportunity, especially those able to provide guarantees or assurances such as parent company guarantees. Companies with robust financial stability, comprehensive liability insurance (£10 million minimum), and the ability to submit thorough financial and qualitative tender proposals stand a significant chance. The estimated contract value is £2,100,000 gross, inviting businesses ready to support the educational institutions' ethos and operational needs to express their interest by 3rd November 2025.

Notice Title

Cardinal Heenan & Broughton Hall Catholic High Schools & Joint 6th Form Cleaning Tender 2025/6

Notice Description

Cardinal Heenan and Broughton Hall Catholic High Schools and joint 6th Form centre are seeking to procure a provider for cleaning services. 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 the individual schools are supported. This tender process is targeted to have a cleaning contract in place to commence on 29th May 2026. Please note that this process covers all cleaning services within Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School, Broughton Hall Catholic High school and the joint 6th form centre with full tender costings and proposals for each school for a contract start in on 29th May 2026. These details will be further explained in the ITT documents. The tender 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 schools. 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 December 2025. Tender response deadline is planned as early January 2026 and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in early February 2026. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period (5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).
