UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Paradigm Trust sought planned preventative maintenance services across its school estate. The work is divided between London schools and Ipswich Academy and Schools, with a third lot combining both areas. The London sites are Culloden Primary and Solebay Primary, with Old Ford Primary joining from September 2027. The Ipswich portfolio covers Ipswich Academy, Murrayfield Primary Academy, Piper’s Vale Primary Academy and Woodbridge Road Academy; the new Henley Gate school in Ipswich is also to be incorporated when completed. The buyer is Paradigm Trust. The services are preventive maintenance (CPV 50324200), delivered at the listed schools in London and Ipswich, England.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive procedure. The procurement has reached tender; the invitation to tender set an enquiry deadline of 24 October 2026 at 12:00 and a bid submission deadline of 7 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, extending at most to 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £500,000 for the London schools lot and £1,000,000 for the Ipswich lot; the combined-area lot is also offered, but its listed value is nominal and should not be read as a meaningful estimate. Evaluation weights service delivery at 35%, contract price at 30%, customer care and staffing at 15% each, and sustainability value added at 5%.

The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It will suit maintenance providers able to plan and deliver preventative maintenance across school buildings, either in London, Ipswich or both. Bidders for the Ipswich schools need to account for Henley Gate, a new school due for completion in September 2028, and include provision for its planned maintenance. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate strong service delivery, effective staffing and customer care, while addressing sustainability value added; these quality considerations together account for most of the evaluation. The lots allow firms to focus on one geographical area or bid for the combined estate, making the requirement relevant to both regional providers and businesses able to cover schools in both locations.
