UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Derby School is procuring a single supplier to provide building cleaning services at its school site on West Derby Road, Liverpool, Merseyside. The requirement covers routine cleaning and associated service delivery for the school premises. It is a services contract and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The buyer is West Derby School, a public undertaking. The procurement is presented as one lot, so suppliers should be able to provide a complete cleaning service rather than only an isolated element. The stated requirement is for building-cleaning services, making this relevant to commercial cleaning companies, education-sector facilities providers and organisations with the operational capacity to manage a school site.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure using a competitive flexible procedure. The published stages are selection questionnaire, advertisement, invitation to tender, standstill and award. Enquiries had to be submitted by 5 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 16 October 2026 at 10:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £1,000,000 excluding VAT and £1,200,000 including VAT. Award evaluation is based on staffing 30%, contract price 30%, social value 15%, account management and technical support 15%, and quality management 10%.

This opportunity suits an established cleaning provider able to deliver a reliable, managed service for a school over several years. Applicants must complete a Selection Questionnaire and provide evidence of business quality standards, relevant accreditations and comparable experience. The evaluation places particular emphasis on staffing, so bidders should be able to demonstrate sufficient trained personnel, effective workforce planning and the capacity to maintain service continuity. Quality management, account management and technical support together carry significant weight, favouring suppliers with documented operating procedures, responsive contract management and clear performance oversight. Social value is also assessed, so bidders should be ready to set out credible benefits arising from delivery. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, including those able to meet the full service scope independently.
