Summary of the contracting process

The Marches Academy Trust, based in Shrewsbury, initiated an open tender process seeking cleaning service providers for their school facilities. This procurement covers daily and periodic cleaning services, with a contract period beginning on 1 August 2026 and running for three years, with an option to extend for a further two years. The procurement process, managed by Invictus Partnership Limited, concluded with the award made on 21 April 2026 to CleanTEC Services Limited. The total contract value is £3,195,000 GBP, and it is classified under the services category with a focus on school cleaning services. Key dates included the closing of the expression of interest on 10 November 2025 and the award period ending on 3 April 2026. The procurement method adopted was a competitive flexible procedure under a light-touch regime.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale cleaning service providers capable of handling multi-site logistics. The comprehensive nature of the contract, embracing both term-time and non-term-time requirements, allows businesses to engage in long-term service provision, enhancing stability and revenue predictability. Additionally, the tender was open to SMEs, although no final stage bids from SMEs were recorded, indicating the potential for interested smaller enterprises to engage if similar opportunities arise. Companies with the capacity to manage TUPE regulations will particularly benefit, as they can ensure seamless transitions with existing staff joining from prior service arrangements. The structure and size of the contract provide an ideal platform for large or expanding cleaning firms looking to consolidate their market position through high-profile, public-sector assignments.
