Summary of the contracting process

Educo is procuring school cleaning services on behalf of Hampton Academies Trust for six schools in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire: Hampton College, Hampton College 6th Form, Hampton College Primary, Hampton Gardens School, Hampton Lakes Primary and Great Haddon Primary School. The requirement covers routine cleaning during 39 weeks of each school year, including inset days, together with deep cleaning for at least 15 to 25 days per school, depending on school size. Contractors will be responsible for assessing the spaces during arranged site visits and developing the information needed to meet the specification. Educo, a public undertaking, is managing the procurement for the Trust. The service falls within school cleaning services (CPV 90919300) and is classified as a services contract.

The procurement has reached tender: Educo invited suppliers to submit expressions of interest through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure using an open procurement method. The first stage assesses the Selection Questionnaire and selects the highest-scoring four or five bidders for stage two. Stage two includes an online briefing, school site visits, financial and operational proposals, technical responses and presentations by a shortlist of three tenderers. Enquiries were due by 8 October 2026 at 17:00, and tender submissions by 15 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date was 5 February 2027. The contract is valued at £2,217,575 excluding VAT, or £2,661,090 including VAT. It runs from 26 March 2027 to 25 March 2030, with possible one-year extensions twice, subject to performance and agreed KPIs. Evaluation is 80% technical responses and 20% financial status.

This opportunity suits established contract cleaning companies with experience delivering cleaning services in schools or comparable multi-site environments. Suppliers need the operational capability to service six schools, organise cleaning across 39 school weeks, provide the required deep-cleaning capacity and assess each site in detail before submitting a full proposal. The process favours bidders able to give strong, evidence-based answers to the Selection Questionnaire and technical questions, explain how they will support teams working on site and present their approach to the Trust, schools and Educo. Financially robust organisations are relevant because financial status forms part of the assessment. The second stage will include anonymised TUPE information, so bidders should be able to plan for transferring staff and pensions obligations. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable participants.
