Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Inspire Learning Trust procured cleaning services for three sites. The scope covered the complete cleaning service, including the machinery and equipment needed to deliver it. The requirement was for cleaning in buildings in use and was tendered through the Department for Education’s YPO framework. The buyer is an education trust based in Rotherham. The service category is cleaning (CPV 90910000). Delivery locations are not identified by place name in the available procurement details, so the specific site locations cannot be stated here.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RCCN Limited. The contract was signed on 28 April 2026 and is active, with a value of £2,492,601.07. The awarded term is described as three years with two possible one-year extensions. The buyer used a limited procedure, calling off from a framework without publishing a prior competition notice. Seven bids were recorded. The contract covered one lot for three sites; that lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active. Evaluation weighted service quality at 60% and price at 40%.

This award shows that Inspire Learning Trust buys a fully managed cleaning service across multiple sites, including the machinery and equipment needed to provide it, through a framework call-off. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to cover three sites and deliver the full range of cleaning activity in buildings that remain in use. Service quality carried greater weight than price, so credible evidence of service standards, operational management and consistent delivery would matter alongside a competitive cost. RCCN Limited, recorded as an SME, won this award, showing that a smaller supplier was selected for a contract of this scale. Suppliers able to meet a multi-site requirement and compete through the relevant framework route are best placed to match the buyer’s demonstrated requirement.
