Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Synergy Education Trust Limited bought cleaning services for its six schools, covering both primary and secondary education. The trust is based in Blackpool and is governed by an overall Trust Board. The work covers the trust’s school estate, including cleaning and sanitation, exterior cleaning of buildings, refuse collection, and building and facilities management services. The procurement is classified under sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services (CPV 90000000). Delivery is associated with Blackpool and the surrounding area. This requirement is relevant to commercial cleaning contractors and facilities management providers able to organise consistent services across a multi-site education estate, including the practical management of cleaning, waste and external building services at several schools.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a further competition under an established dynamic purchasing system. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded to 5A.M. Contract Cleaners Limited, an SME, and the contract is active. The contract value is £2,193,764.16. It was signed on 2 June 2026. Evaluation gave quality a 60% weighting and price 40%. Four bids were recorded, including three from SMEs. The arrangement included an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. The procurement was subject to the Government Procurement Agreement. The award concerns the cleaning services requirement across all six schools in the trust.

This outcome demonstrates demand from an education trust for a sizeable, multi-site cleaning and facilities services operation. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this type would need the operational capacity to service six primary and secondary schools consistently, with reliable staffing, supervision and mobilisation across the estate. Relevant capability includes routine cleaning and sanitation, external building cleaning, refuse collection and wider facilities management. The evaluation weighting shows that service quality carried greater importance than price, so competitors would need to evidence strong quality systems, dependable performance controls and a clear approach to maintaining standards in schools. The award to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist contractor can be credible where it can demonstrate sufficient capacity, coordination and experience for a trust-wide contract.
