Summary of the contracting process

Aldridge Education procured school cleaning and caretaking services for six schools in the North West of England. The requirement covers routine cleaning and related caretaking activity in educational settings. The procurement was run by Aldridge Education, an education body governed by public law. It sits within the wider Building in Use Support Services dynamic purchasing system and was arranged as a further competition for this specific group of schools. The relevant service category is school and office cleaning services (CPV 90919000). The work is focused on maintaining clean, safe and presentable school premises across the North West rather than supplying goods or carrying out construction works.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded through a selective restricted procedure under the Building in Use Support Services dynamic purchasing system. Ten bids were recorded. Bulloughs Cleaning Services Limited was awarded the contract on 15 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. Its value is £2,162,000. The tender used a single lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are active. Evaluation allocated 30% to price, 25% to quality, 25% to delivery and customer service, and 20% to added value. The available award information identifies the selected supplier and confirms an active contract, but does not provide a contract end date.

This procurement shows demand for a substantial, multi-school cleaning service from an established provider able to cover six education sites across the North West. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable operational capacity, consistent quality controls and the ability to deliver services across multiple schools rather than a single premises. The evaluation also shows that price was important but accounted for less than half of the assessment: service quality, delivery and customer service, and added value together carried greater weight. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable mobilisation, responsive customer service, strong day-to-day service management and practical additional benefits for an education client. Experience delivering cleaning in school or comparable multi-site environments would support that case.
