## Summary

The Wellspring Academy Trust is conducting a tender for cleaning services across its network of primary and special academies located primarily in Barnsley, Leeds, Grimsby, and Lincolnshire. This procurement process, initiated through a selective method, is currently in the award stage, with the successful supplier being Alchemy Facilities - Trading as Enviroserve UK Limited. The contract commenced on 1st April 2018 and runs for a period of five years, with initial provision requirements for various schools. The closing date for the Selection Questionnaire was on 18th August 2017.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in cleaning services, particularly those operating within the educational sector. With the Wellspring Academy Trust anticipating rapid growth, expanding from 15 to around 30 academies in the coming years, suppliers may find additional contracts available if they perform well under the current agreement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find themselves well-suited to compete due to the Trust’s encouragement of diverse suppliers in their procurement process.
