UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheetham CE Academy is seeking a contractor to clean its primary school in Manchester, which has around 600 pupils aged 3 to 11. The work covers regular, routine cleaning during the school’s term-time operation and more specific periodic cleaning outside term time. The procurement is for school cleaning services at the academy. The buyer is Cheetham CE Academy, based on Halliwell Lane, Manchester. The requirement is presented as one contract covering the school’s cleaning service, rather than separate lots. The academy needs a supplier able to maintain day-to-day cleanliness while also carrying out periodic work when the school is not operating in term time.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with a preliminary selection questionnaire stage followed by invitations to shortlisted suppliers to tender. The questionnaire return deadline was 23 November 2026 at 10:00; clarification questions were due by 16 November 2026 at 12:00. The tender set a contract period from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions, potentially running to 31 August 2032. The estimated value is £309,000 excluding VAT (£370,800 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation weights are price 35%, staffing analysis 20%, service delivery 20%, clarification meeting 10%, customer care 10% and added value 5%.

The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is best suited to cleaning contractors able to provide consistent routine cleaning in a primary-school setting, as well as plan and deliver periodic cleaning outside term time. Suppliers should be able to show how they will resource the work: staffing analysis accounts for a substantial part of the quality assessment, alongside service delivery. Customer care, added value and performance in a clarification meeting also contribute to evaluation, so bidders will need a credible service plan and the ability to explain and support it. The requirement combines recurring day-to-day work with scheduled periodic tasks for a school serving approximately 600 children.
