## Summary

The London Borough of Merton has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "School Cleaning and ancillary services," aimed at providing cleaning services to approximately 36 primary, secondary, and special schools within the borough. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract, valued at around £10 million, spans a maximum term of five years, commencing from 1st August 2022 and concluding on 31st July 2025. This opportunity was published on 16th March 2022, with a tender submission deadline that was set for 20th April 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in cleaning and ancillary services, particularly those equipped to manage multiple site operations within the education sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are encouraged to participate, may find this contract especially beneficial as it allows for the potential integration of additional school sites if requested by governing bodies. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in delivering quality cleaning services within educational environments are well-positioned to compete for this lucrative contract.

## Notice

The London Borough of Merton is seeking to procure a multi-site school cleaning service for a number of its primary, secondary and special schools and other associated education buildings. As set out in the Service Specification, the successful Bidder will provide daily and periodic cleaning for schools and other sites. The current expectation is that there will be approximately 36 education establishment sites. However, the council wishes to allow for the option of up to any of a possible 20 (or such number up to that figure) additional state maintained school sites (including academies) situated within the borough to be added via a variation during the term of the contract if their governing bodies ask to be included within the council's contract. The current estimated value is based on 36 sites over a 5 year maximum contract term (approximately PS2.1 million per year without inflation) - the addition of further sites is not necessarily anticipated but if this were to occur this would substantially increase the value of contract by up to a total annual contract value of PS4 million per year For further information and/or to access this opportunity please visit https://www.londontenders.org/ (Ref: DN602345)
