Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council is procuring cleaning services for Tanbridge House School. The requirement covers routine school cleaning services at the school in West Sussex, supporting the day-to-day upkeep of the school premises. The council is the public-sector buyer and the contract is for services rather than goods or construction works. This opportunity is relevant to commercial cleaning companies, facilities management providers and specialist education-sector cleaning contractors able to organise and deliver cleaning operations in a school environment. The requirement is focused on the school site and its cleaning needs, rather than a wider programme of building maintenance, catering, security or other facilities services.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Tender responses were to be submitted electronically through the specified portal by 16 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The intended evaluation and award period ended on 16 November 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028, with a possible two-year extension on the current terms, giving a maximum end date of 31 December 2029. The estimated value is £875,000 excluding VAT, or £1,050,000 including VAT. Quality and price are weighted equally, at 50% each. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and has one lot.

The requirement suits established cleaning contractors and facilities management businesses that can provide reliable, organised cleaning services for a school. Small and medium-sized enterprises are specifically identified as suitable, so the opportunity is not limited to the largest national providers. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the operational capability to plan staffing, manage day-to-day service delivery and maintain consistent cleaning standards across a school premises. The equal weighting for quality and price means bidders need both a credible service approach and competitive commercial terms. Businesses with experience delivering school or other education-sector cleaning, and with the management capacity to sustain performance over a multi-year arrangement, are well placed to compete.
