Summary of the contracting process

The Chase School bought a full daily cleaning service for its single site in Malvern. The requirement covers cleaning during term time and periodic cleaning outside term time, for a school environment. The service is classified as school cleaning services (CPV 90919300). The Chase School is the buying organisation, with Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited managing the procurement. The work is delivered at the school in Malvern. The requirement is a service contract rather than goods, construction or facilities works. Its scope is focused on maintaining school premises through regular cleaning, with additional periodic cleaning activity outside term time.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective competitive flexible procedure. It used one lot and received five bids, all five reaching the final stage. Bids were evaluated on quality weighted at 70% and price at 30%. The contract was awarded to Ridge Crest Cleaning Limited on 30 June 2026 for £1,421,354.22 excluding VAT (£1,705,625.06 including VAT). The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 25 October 2026 to 24 October 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions giving a maximum end date of 24 October 2031. The expression-of-interest deadline was 9 February 2026 at 17:00, and the standstill period ended on 9 July 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from The Chase School for a substantial, single-site education cleaning service. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to provide full daily cleaning during term time and periodic cleaning outside term time, while managing continuity in a school setting. TUPE is expected to apply, so bidders would need to assess and transfer affected staff appropriately. Five existing cleaning team members are members of the Local Government Pension Scheme, requiring capability to understand and administer the associated employment and pension obligations. The successful supplier, Ridge Crest Cleaning Limited, is an SME, indicating that a specialist cleaning business of this scale can compete for the requirement.
