Summary of the contracting process

The Carlton Academy Trust has completed its procurement process for a comprehensive cleaning services framework across its cluster of schools. The awarded contract, managed under an open procurement method, facilitates these services in the region of Bradford, United Kingdom (UKE41). The procurement process culminated in the award on 21st May 2026, with the contract commencing on 1st September 2026 and potentially extending until 31st August 2031, incorporating possible yearly extensions. The tender, titled "Carlton Academy Trust Framework Cleaning Tender," targets the services industry, specifically cleaning services for educational institutions. Red Box Consultancy Services Limited acted as a consultant and procuring entity during this process.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the cleaning services sector, particularly those capable of managing large-scale educational facility contracts. With a focus on both price competitiveness and service quality, businesses offering guaranteed fixed cost models for labour and operational overheads stand to benefit. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), especially those in the regional cleaning industry, are well-suited to leverage this opportunity, given the emphasis on local management efficiencies and potential expansion as the Trust might incorporate additional schools into the framework agreement. The award, valued at over £4.6 million, sets a substantial profit potential for businesses adept at scaling operations while maintaining high service standards.
