This procurement falls under the services category, specifically school cleaning services (CPV code 90919300). The framework will initially cover four schools: Whalley Range 11-18 High School, Levenshulme High School, Parrs Wood High School, and The East Manchester Academy, all located in the Greater Manchester area (UKD3 region). The tender process includes several key dates: a site survey and tender briefing in March 2025, a tender response deadline in late April 2025, and interviews in mid-May 2025. The contract will commence in August 2025 and will run for a period of three years with the option to extend for up to two additional years (3 +1 +1). Bidders must submit electronic responses via the myTenders web platform, and the procurement method used is a restricted procedure. This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for cleaning service providers, particularly those with robust local infrastructure and capabilities to support multiple schools. The opportunity is well-suited for businesses with experience in delivering flexible, value-driven cleaning solutions in educational settings. The framework anticipates between one and three contractors, allowing smaller businesses to compete alongside larger entities. Given the potential for additional schools to be added to the framework and the possibility of up to five years of engagement, this could be a significant contract for firms looking to expand their footprint in the educational sector. Companies must demonstrate a turnover of at least £250,000 and carry a minimum of £10,000,000 in Employer's Liability Insurance to qualify, thereby ensuring that only financially robust firms are considered. ## Notice The Greater Manchester Education Trust are seeking to procure a number of providers for a multi-supplier framework for cleaning services.
