Summary of the contracting process

The Washwood Heath Multi Academy Trust, based in Birmingham, United Kingdom, has awarded a contract for cleaning services across its schools. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for school cleaning services, with Red Box Consultancy Services Limited acting as the primary procuring entity. The contract award process was completed using an open procurement method. The standstill period concludes on 19 June 2026, with the service contract commencing on 1 September 2026, and extending until 31 August 2029, featuring potential renewals for up to two additional years. The awarded contract features a total gross value of £4,654,896 GBP, with services to be conducted primarily during school terms and additional cleans outside regular school operations. Westgrove Support Services Limited was the successful supplier for this framework agreement.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in facilities management and cleaning services. The framework agreement allows for the addition of new schools, thus broadening the scope for ongoing contracts over the years. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in educational infrastructure services would benefit significantly from participating, especially those capable of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions aligned with the needs of expanding educational trusts. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were encouraged to participate, adding a competitive edge to those able to offer both competitive pricing and exceptional service delivery.
