Summary of the contracting process

Garth Hill College, working with a collaboration of Berkshire schools, procured daily cleaning services for three school sites: The Colleton Primary School, The Federation of Robert Piggott Infant and Junior Schools, and Garth Hill College. The service covers full daily cleaning during term time and periodic cleaning outside term time. The work is delivered at the schools in Berkshire, including Bracknell. The procurement was divided into separate lots for each school, allowing suppliers to compete for individual site requirements rather than only the combined service. The schools are the users of the cleaning service, with Garth Hill College acting as the named buyer for the collaboration.

The procurement has been awarded, with contract signature milestones still scheduled. PURGO SUPPLY SERVICES LTD was selected for The Colleton Primary School at £261,380.23 and for The Federation of Robert Piggott Infant and Junior Schools at £282,200.71. Hayward Services Ltd was selected for Garth Hill College at £1,763,161.31. Each award is dated 25 September 2026. The first two contracts run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions, potentially to 31 October 2031. Garth Hill College’s contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with the same extension options, potentially to 31 March 2032. The competitive flexible procedure used shortlisting and tender stages. Quality carried 70% and price 30% of the evaluation for each lot.

This award shows demand for routine, school-based cleaning across primary and secondary education settings, with work scheduled around the school calendar: daily service in term time and periodic cleaning beyond term. Suppliers competing for similar requirements would need the operational capacity to staff reliable daily cleaning at multiple sites, alongside the flexibility to provide periodic work outside term. They should be able to demonstrate consistent service quality, effective mobilisation and supervision, and pricing that remains competitive without compromising delivery. TUPE was expected to apply, so credible providers would need experience assessing and managing the transfer of existing staff, while maintaining service continuity. The separate awards to two suppliers show that providers can be successful for a particular school lot as well as across more than one site.
