Summary of the contracting process

The Stonehenge School appointed a provider for a full daily cleaning service at its single-site school in Amesbury, Wiltshire. The requirement covers cleaning throughout term time, periodic cleaning outside term time and a contractor-employed daily janitor providing daytime cleaning. The buyer is The Stonehenge School, with Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited managing the procurement. This is a school cleaning services contract (CPV 90919300) within the services category. The work is site-based and focused on maintaining the school premises through routine daily operations, daytime janitorial cover and planned cleaning outside teaching periods. TUPE is expected to apply, so the incoming provider must account for the transfer of affected staff and the related employment obligations when taking on the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bloom Cleaning Co on 23 June 2026, following a selective competitive flexible procedure. The award and signed contract value is £849,477.73 excluding VAT, or £1,019,373.28 including VAT. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions giving a maximum end date of 31 August 2031. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Five bids were received and all five reached the final stage; all five final-stage bidders were SMEs. The process included an initial questionnaire, shortlisting, final tenders and presentations before award.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for outsourced school cleaning at a single-site secondary school, combining reliable term-time daily cleaning with periodic out-of-term work and daytime janitorial cover. A credible competing supplier would need the operational capacity to maintain consistent staffing across the school day, organise periodic deep or planned cleaning outside term time and manage service delivery in an education environment. Experience handling TUPE transfers would be important, including workforce due diligence, continuity planning and compliance with transferring employees’ terms. The evaluation result also indicates that service quality carried substantially more weight than price, so future competitors should be able to evidence robust mobilisation, supervision, cleaning standards, staffing resilience and quality assurance rather than relying on low pricing alone. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this scale is within reach of suitably structured specialist cleaning businesses.
