The work covers regular, routine cleaning during school operations and more specific periodic cleaning outside term time. The Trust’s schools are located across Manchester, Trafford, Knowsley and Wigan, spanning four local authorities. This is a school cleaning services contract, with The Dean Trust as the buyer. The delivery requirement applies across the Trust’s schools rather than a single site, so suppliers need to be able to organise cleaning across a multi-school estate and accommodate both term-time routines and additional out-of-term cleaning. The Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 4 December 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The contract is due to run from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030, a three-year term. Its estimated value is £4,648,437. The procurement is described as one requirement covering 11 schools, with no separate lots identified. The tender states that it is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information gives no evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements beyond the stated suitability. The procurement has reached the tender stage, when the buyer invited suppliers to submit offers. This opportunity may suit cleaning contractors with the operational capacity to service multiple schools across Manchester, Trafford, Knowsley and Wigan. Suppliers should be able to deliver dependable routine cleaning around school operations, as well as plan and carry out more intensive periodic work outside term time. Experience coordinating staff, schedules and quality across a multi-site education estate would be commercially relevant to the requirement. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller suppliers are considered appropriate, although delivery across 11 schools calls for sufficient workforce and management capability or a practical delivery partnership. No specific accreditations, qualifications or prior experience thresholds are set out in the published requirement, so the clearest fit is a supplier able to demonstrate credible school-cleaning delivery and the capacity to cover all sites. ## Notice The Dean Trust is a multi-academy trust established in 2012 and comprises schools located across, Manchester, Trafford, Knowsley and Wigan; across four local authorities. The Trust are seeking a contractor to provide cleaning of a regular and routine nature, together with more specific periodical cleaning outside of the term-time operation across 11 of its schools. The contract will be awarded for a period of 3 years commencing 1st September 2027. To access this competition: Registered: Login to https://suppliers.multiquote.com and view the opportunity CA18592.
