Wilmslow High School Cleaning Tender 2026
Notice Description
Wilmslow High School are seeking to procure a provider for cleaning services. The provision of the service must demonstrate the best value approach and be flexible in its delivery and operation to ensure that the needs and ethos of the individual schools are supported. This tender process is targeted to have a cleaning contract in place to commence on 1st August 2026. Please note that this process covers all cleaning services within Wilmslow High School with full tender costings and proposals for a contract start in on 1st August 2026. These details will be further explained in the ITT documents. The tender process will be through a competitive flexible procedure commencing with a participation stage to create a select bidder list following analysis of a PSQ document (within which the scoring criteria will be included). The nature of the contract demands a good local infrastructure to provide and maintain the level and standard of cleaning service and support required by the school. Local labour resource/relief cover is very important. We have set a minimum Employer's (compulsory) liability insurance of 10,000,000 GBP). Following the analysis of PSQ's the selected bidders will be invited to attend a site survey and tender briefing initially planned for March 2026. Tender response deadline is planned as mid April 2026 and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in late April 2026. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period (5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).
