## Summary

The St Bart's Multi Academy Trust is seeking bids for its tender titled "Internal Cleaning," aimed at providing cleaning services for 13 primary schools located in and around Stoke on Trent. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically the classification of school cleaning services with a contract value of approximately £1,131,000. The procurement process is at the award stage, having been completed in May 2021, with an initial contract duration of three years and an option for a two-year extension. Interested parties were required to express their interest through a Prequalification Questionnaire (PQQ) submitted by the 26th of February 2021.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those with experience in educational environments and staffing transitions associated with the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) regulations. Companies that are capable of managing cleaning contracts for multiple sites, like the 12 primary schools mentioned, will be well-suited to compete. The successful bidder must demonstrate a solid background in handling existing staff transfers and associated pension arrangements, making this an appealing opportunity for established cleaning service providers in the UK education sector.
