Summary of the contracting process

Barham Primary School is seeking a contractor to provide cleaning services at its school in Wembley, West London. Cleaning is currently managed in-house; the contract will transfer this service to an external supplier. The requirement is school cleaning, covering the school site at Danethorpe Road, Wembley. Barham Primary School is the buyer, with RM&C Consultants Ltd managing the procurement. This is a single-site service contract rather than a multi-location or goods supply opportunity. It is relevant to cleaning companies with experience delivering regular cleaning services in an education setting and the resources to take responsibility for the school’s cleaning operation.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure. The first stage is a scored selection questionnaire; companies meeting the pass mark may be invited to the tender stage, with invitations limited to up to six qualifying companies. The enquiry and expression-of-interest deadline was 2 November 2026 at 13:00. The award decision was scheduled for 25 January 2027. The contract is due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible renewal after three years for satisfactory performance and a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. The published tender and lot values are each £1, which does not provide a useful indication of the commercial contract value. There is one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. The scoring basis is set out in the selection questionnaire and scoring example.

This opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized cleaning businesses, and the single-school scope may suit a supplier able to manage a focused education-sector contract. The competitive process starts with a selection questionnaire scored against an advertised template; meeting the pass mark does not guarantee progression, as no more than six companies are to be invited to submit a full tender. Suppliers should therefore be ready to complete the questionnaire and provide supporting policies or other documents as attachments. The work calls for the capability and staffing to deliver school cleaning reliably at a Wembley site, and the possibility of renewal makes satisfactory performance important. The procurement data does not identify particular cleaning accreditations, staff qualifications or experience thresholds, so the scoring example and questionnaire are central to judging the evidence required.
