Summary of the contracting process

Educo is procuring school cleaning services for Wanstead High School in the London Borough of Redbridge. The requirement covers cleaning from Monday to Friday during academic term time, together with cleaning for a number of weeks during school holidays. This is a services contract for a school environment, suited to contractors that can organise reliable routine cleaning across teaching periods and holiday operations. The successful contractor will provide the service to the school and, after the two-stage procurement process, will be invited to present to the client, which will select its preferred supplier.

The procurement has reached tender: Educo has invited contractors to express interest and submit a response through the MyTenders portal. It uses a two-stage competitive flexible procedure. The enquiry deadline was 29 September 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline is 7 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with renewal available to 31 March 2032 subject to meeting agreed key performance indicators. The estimated value is £1,365,000 excluding VAT, or £1,638,000 including VAT. The tender is one lot. Evaluation gives 80% to operational responses and 20% to financial status.

This opportunity suits established school or commercial cleaning contractors with the operational capability to deliver consistent weekday cleaning throughout academic terms and additional planned work during school holidays. Suppliers should be able to provide clear evidence of their financial status and give strong, detailed answers to the operational questions in the selection questionnaire. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be relevant to regional or specialist cleaning businesses with sufficient staffing, supervision and scheduling capacity for a school environment. Contractors should also be prepared to work against agreed performance measures, since continuation of the service depends on attaining the contract’s key performance indicators.
