The services fall under the public authority sub-central government classification, and the industry category is school cleaning services. The procurement method in use is a selective process with a competitive flexible procedure, allowing a pre-determined number of companies to proceed to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage. Key dates include an expression of interest deadline on 20th November 2025, with the contract for the cleaning services set to commence on 1st April 2026 for Fawcett Primary School and 1st September 2026 for Trumpington Meadows.
