Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Anthem Schools Trust Cleaning" was conducted by ANTHEM SCHOOLS TRUST, a regional or local authority based in London, United Kingdom. The contract, awarded to Direct Cleaning Services SW Ltd, involves cleaning services for all schools under the trust and falls under the CPV classification 90910000. This service procurement process was completed using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was officially signed on 26th June 2026, with a total value of £6,657,439.15. The procurement was awarded off a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), making it outside the scope of the directive. The regional focus is within the UKI32 region.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in cleaning services. Businesses that excel in offering quality service could benefit, as the award criteria heavily weighed quality at 60% compared to costing at 40%. Companies with the capacity to serve a large-scale contract with optional extensions could find this procurement appealing. The procurement process favours established service providers, given the lack of a prior competition call and limited access nature. Consequently, large-scale suppliers like Direct Cleaning Services SW Ltd, who can deliver high-quality and competitively priced solutions, are well-positioned to compete for such contracts.
