UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Barlow Roman Catholic High School, in East Didsbury, Manchester, is seeking one supplier to provide building-cleaning services. The requirement covers the cleaning of the school’s buildings and is classified as building-cleaning services. The work will be delivered in the United Kingdom for the school. This is a services procurement rather than a supply or construction contract. A single appointed contractor will be responsible for providing the cleaning service across the requirement, so it is suited to an established cleaning business able to manage the service as one operation. The buyer is a public undertaking and the opportunity is above the relevant procurement threshold.

The process has reached tender: the school invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 7 August 2026 at 10:00, and offers were due by 17 August 2026 at 10:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions allowing it to continue until 31 December 2031. Its estimated value is £413,260 excluding VAT, or £495,912 including VAT. The buyer expected to complete the award decision by 1 January 2027. Bids are evaluated on quality at 70% and price at 30%. The requirement is a single lot, and electronic submission in English is allowed.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises with the capability to deliver a managed building-cleaning service for a school. Suppliers must complete a Selection Questionnaire and provide evidence of their business quality standards, relevant accreditations and comparable experience. The selection process also tests economic and technical suitability, so bidders should be able to demonstrate both financial standing and the operational ability to fulfil the service. A supplier should have sufficient staff, supervision and service-management capacity to act as the single contractor for the whole requirement, rather than bidding for a specialist part. Businesses must provide accurate information: serious misrepresentation or false evidence can result in exclusion from the process.
