Summary of the contracting process

The Barlow Roman Catholic High School is buying building cleaning services from a single supplier. The work is for the school in East Didsbury, Manchester. The requirement is classified as building-cleaning services (CPV 90911200); the published scope does not describe specific tasks, cleaning frequencies or areas beyond the school building. The award covers the same cleaning service, delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a school facilities contract rather than a supply of cleaning products or a construction project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ACCELERATE CLEANING SOLUTIONS LTD on 28 September 2026. The award value is £866,435.49. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions that could extend the period to 31 December 2031. The competition used an open procedure and comprised one lot. The initial estimated value was £413,260 excluding VAT (£495,912 including VAT). Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. Sixteen bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. Candidates had to complete a Selection Questionnaire and provide evidence of business quality standards, accreditations and relevant experience; the stated selection criteria covered economic and technical capability.

The award demonstrates recurring demand from this school for a single-provider building-cleaning service at a substantial scale, with quality carrying more weight than price in evaluation. A credible supplier for a future competition would need to show sound business quality standards, relevant accreditations and a track record delivering building cleaning, as well as the capacity to take responsibility for the school’s service as one contract. The competition attracted 16 bids, but only one reached the final stage, underlining the importance of meeting selection requirements as well as presenting a strong quality case. The opportunity is relevant to established cleaning contractors able to support a school site in Manchester; the published requirements also considered SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise suitability.
