Summary of the contracting process

The Chase School, based in Malvern, United Kingdom, has concluded its tender process for providing full daily cleaning services, with the contract set to commence on 25 October 2026. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on school cleaning services, with The Chase School acting as the buying organisation. Managed by Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited, the procurement process followed a selective method known as the Competitive Flexible Procedure. The tender made provisions for a contract period of three years, with an option to extend for two additional periods of 12 months each, culminating in a potential five-year contract. The award stage is complete, with Ridge Crest Cleaning Limited announced as the chosen supplier on 30 June 2026, subject to a standstill period ending on 9 July 2026. This opportunity reflects a significant contract value of £1,421,354.22 excluding VAT, highlighting its importance in the education sector within the UKG12 region.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to establish or expand their footprint in the education sector's service provision. The requirement for a comprehensive daily and periodic cleaning service during and outside term time aligns well with businesses that have expertise in large-scale cleaning operations, particularly those familiar with academic contexts and personnel considerations such as TUPE regulations. Participation in the competitive procedure provided a leveled playing field, allowing capable businesses to demonstrate value through quality assurance and competitive pricing, as indicated by the procurement’s evaluation criteria. Companies with a robust approach to quality and cost-efficient service delivery, such as Ridge Crest Cleaning Limited, are ideally positioned to benefit from such tender opportunities.
