Summary of the contracting process

The London Oratory School has completed a selective procurement process for a cleaning contract, successfully awarding it to Julius Rutherfoord & Co. Ltd. The procurement was managed through a competitive flexible procedure intended for providing cleaning services at the school's location in London, UK. This process, recorded under the OCDS ID ocds-h6vhtk-06054c, is categorised under school cleaning services and proceeded through several stages including an Expression of Interest (EOI) deadline on 23rd January 2026, and a contract award on 17th April 2026. The award amount is £1,462,410. The contract period is set to commence on 25th May 2026 and can be extended up to two times for 12 months each, ensuring a potential extension until 24th April 2031.

This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses in the cleaning industry, particularly larger firms or those capable of handling comprehensive contracts for educational institutions. Companies that exhibit strength in quality service provision, evidenced by a competitive evaluation process favouring quality over price, would find this opportunity appealing. The structure of the procurement favours SMEs, demonstrated by the presence of five SMEs reaching the final bidding stage. Potential contractors should be adept at navigating selective procedures and familiar with electronic submissions via platforms like Bidiful, as used in this instance. Such opportunities encourage growth and diversification within the cleaning service sector.
