Summary of the contracting process

The Streetly Academy in Sutton Coldfield procured outsourced school cleaning services for its academy facilities. The requirement covers core cleaning during term time and periodic deep cleaning throughout the year, with the aim of maintaining consistently high standards so pupils and staff can use well-kept facilities. The school has around 1,500 students and 180 teaching and support staff. The service includes tightly managed delivery, productive cleaning staff, effective management and the efficient handling of vacancies and absences. The contractor is expected to support, encourage and develop its staff and work in partnership with the academy to improve the service. The procurement category is school cleaning services (CPV 90919300), delivered at The Streetly Academy in Sutton Coldfield.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to CleanTEC Services Limited on 17 June 2026. It used an open Competitive Flexible Procedure with a two-stage PSQ and ITT process; candidates needed at least 60% to progress, and the ITT was evaluated 65% on quality and 35% on price. Three bids were received, including two from SMEs. The expression-of-interest and enquiry deadline was 20 March 2026, and the standstill period ended on 26 June 2026. The award and signed contract value is £981,010.50 excluding VAT (£1,177,212.60 including VAT). The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 for 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an option to extend for up to two years to 31 July 2031. The tender required £900,000 minimum annual turnover and £5 million employers’ and public liability insurance.

This requirement demonstrates demand from a large secondary academy for a managed, high-productivity cleaning operation covering routine term-time work and intensive periodic cleaning. A credible competitor would need experience delivering consistently high standards across an education environment, with the operational capacity to provide a full complement of staff and manage vacancies and absences without service disruption. Strong workforce supervision would be important, including the ability to support, encourage and develop cleaning staff. The buyer valued quality and best value rather than simply the lowest price, so suppliers would need to evidence reliable service management, practical improvement ideas and a partnership approach. Relevant providers should also be able to demonstrate robust financial capacity, suitable liability insurance, effective mobilisation and the ability to manage incumbent staff arrangements, including employees in the Local Government Pension Scheme.
