Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Highfield School involved a further competition for cleaning and caretaking services at two of their sites—Ossett and Thornes Park—in the region identified as UKE45. The process, which falls under the services industry category, was conducted through a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure. The tender brought the procurement to completion, with the contract being awarded on 12th December 2025 to Civic Enterprise Leeds, amounting to £316,356. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and will last for three years, with an option to extend for an additional year.

Companies that can deliver high quality, cost-effective solutions with excellent delivery and customer service could thrive, as these criteria hold substantial weight in the award considerations. The presence of a dynamic purchasing system may further increase accessibility for businesses capable of flexibly meeting Highfield School's needs over the contract term. With seven bids received, the competitive environment suits companies adept at navigating restricted procedures and accustomed to operating within public law frameworks.
