Summary of the contracting process

The HISP Multi Academy Trust Ltd is currently in the tender stage for a contract to provide cleaning services across its schools in the South of England, including the Isle of Wight. The procurement is divided into two geographical lots: Lot 1 covering schools on the mainland, such as Thornden and Highcliffe, and Lot 2 for schools on the Isle of Wight like Medina College. The tender is managed under a Competitive Flexible Procedure, involving a two-stage process that includes a Procurement Specific Questionnaire and an Invitation to Tender. Expressions of interest must be submitted by 4 September 2026, with the award period ending on 11 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to commence from 1 February 2027 for a term of three years, with potential extensions up to 2032. The total contract value for both lots is approximately £7.7 million.

This procurement presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in school cleaning services. Companies with expertise in delivering high-quality, efficient cleaning solutions are well-suited to compete, particularly those capable of managing diverse regional requirements. The tender encourages innovative approaches to improve existing services and stresses quality over lowest pricing, allocating a 60% weight to quality in the evaluation criteria. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are also invited to participate. The opportunity to propose enhancements and cost-saving measures, especially for the Isle of Wight schools, can foster long-term partnerships and support business growth as the Trust may expand to include other schools during the contract term.
