Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Anthem Schools Trust procured cleaning services for all schools within the trust. The requirement covers the routine provision of cleaning across an education estate, rather than a single site. The buyer is Anthem Schools Trust, based in London, and the trust’s schools are the delivery locations. This is a services contract for organisations able to manage consistent cleaning provision across multiple educational premises. The procurement concerns operational cleaning delivery and service quality in schools, so relevant suppliers are established commercial cleaning providers with the management systems, workforce and geographic coverage needed to support a trust-wide requirement. The trust is classified as an education organisation, making experience of schools or comparable occupied public-sector buildings particularly relevant.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Anthem Schools Trust used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, awarding through a dynamic purchasing system. Direct Cleaning Services SW Ltd received the active award for the cleaning requirement. The contract value is £6,657,439.15 including the stated currency of GBP, and it was signed on 26 June 2026. Four bids were recorded. Evaluation placed 60% on quality and 40% on costing. The arrangement included options described as three years plus one year plus one year. The recorded tender lot was cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active; the award is therefore the operative outcome for this procurement.

This award demonstrates substantial, trust-wide demand for managed cleaning services in the education sector, with quality carrying greater weight than cost in evaluation. A credible future competitor would need to show dependable delivery across multiple schools, strong mobilisation and workforce management, robust quality assurance, and the ability to maintain consistent standards across an extended service arrangement. Evidence of cleaning experience in schools, public-sector estates or similarly occupied buildings would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, access, term-time operations and disruption-sensitive environments. Suppliers should also be capable of competing through a dynamic purchasing system and of presenting a cost model that remains credible alongside a stronger quality submission. The requirement suits established providers with sufficient operational capacity for a large multi-site education contract.
