UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Priory Federation of Academies Trust is seeking a supplier for cleaning services across its academies. The requirement is school cleaning, covering academies that differ in context, educational phase, setting, size, staffing profile and relationship with the Trust. The services support the Trust’s schools and its aim of improving pupils’ life chances. The buyer is The Priory Federation of Academies Trust, based in Lincoln. This is a service contract for a supplier able to provide consistent cleaning across a varied academy estate while adapting delivery to the circumstances of individual schools. The opportunity is relevant to commercial cleaning companies, school-cleaning specialists and facilities services providers with the operational resources to manage work across multiple academy settings.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 13 November 2026 at 12:00 noon, and offers are due by 5 March 2027 at 12:00 noon. The intended award period ends on 10 May 2027 at 23:59. The contract runs from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030, with three possible one-year extensions, giving a maximum end date of 31 August 2033. The published value is £6,000,000 gross in total, while the tender description states an annual contract value of £1,000,000. Quality carries 70% of the evaluation and price 30%.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises as well as established commercial cleaning and facilities management providers. Suppliers should be able to deliver school cleaning services across a group of academies with varied contexts, phases, settings, sizes and staffing profiles. The requirement favours organisations capable of adapting operational arrangements between individual schools while maintaining dependable service standards across the Trust. Providers with experience managing multi-site education cleaning, coordinating different staffing requirements and supporting academies at different stages of their relationship with a central trust are likely to be well placed. The scale also suits businesses with sufficient workforce, supervision and management capacity to serve a substantial academy estate over a multi-year contract.
