This process, managed by Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited, involves a contract with a value of £1,300,000 (gross £1,560,000) that will commence on 25 October 2026. The legal basis for the tender is grounded in UK legislation, and the procurement falls under the industry category of school cleaning services. Interested suppliers must note key deadlines, including an expression of interest deadline on 9 February 2026 and a significant deadline for enquiries on 22 January 2026.
