## Summary

Cleaning services are being procured for Tyne Coast Academy Trust, covering three of its five schools across the Tyne and Wear region. The requirement falls within general cleaning, environmental and waste-related services (CPV 90000000), with the main category being services. Education Commercial Services issued the competition for the Trust through its ethical and sustainable dynamic purchasing system. The named buyer is Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, based in Sunderland. The work concerns routine outsourced cleaning provision for schools rather than construction, supplies or specialist professional services. Suppliers whose core business is education-sector cleaning, multi-site facilities management or related environmental services may find the requirement relevant, particularly those able to operate across several school locations in Tyne and Wear and manage consistent service standards between sites.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 6 July 2026 to NIC Services Group Limited. The award value is £990,188. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The original estimated value range was £500,000 to £900,000. The process used a selective further competition, described as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 12:00 on 12 June 2026. The award is active and covers the three participating schools within Tyne Coast Academy Trust. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the further-competition process under the dynamic purchasing system, with the published information identifying the selected supplier and award value.

This award demonstrates demand for outsourced cleaning across multiple schools in the Tyne and Wear area, delivered under a dynamic purchasing system rather than through an unrestricted open procedure. A future competitor would need a credible multi-site cleaning operation capable of serving three schools, coordinating staffing and supervision across locations, and maintaining consistent standards in an education environment. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller organisations with sufficient operational capacity may be well placed to compete. The appointed supplier is a large cleaning-services business, indicating that proven delivery capacity, reliable mobilisation and the ability to manage a sizeable school-based service are important benchmarks for suppliers targeting this buyer’s cleaning requirements.
