## Summary

Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust, based in Okehampton, Devon, conducted a procurement process for outsourced cleaning services under the title "Provision of Outsourced Cleaning Services". The contract involves services for various school spaces including teaching and office areas, with a focus on both daily cleaning and deep cleaning during school terms. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the procurement process was covered under the GPA. The contract, related to Lot 3 - All Schools, was awarded to Direct Cleaning Services and is currently active as of the most recent update from December 2025. The contract was signed on 7th August 2025, with a value of £10,500,000 GBP, and it included provisions for effective management and operational communication regarding delivered services. This award was granted following an unsuccessful outcome for Lots 1 and 2, which were meant for the provision of similar services to the Trust's primary and secondary schools respectively.

The tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in cleaning services with the ability to meet high performance standards and adapt to flexible schedules based on school events. The focus on outsourced cleaning services allows businesses to contribute uniquely tailored solutions that align with the needs of educational institutions. Companies that specialise in facility management and have robust mechanisms in place to ensure compliance with health and safety standards may find this contract particularly attractive. As a significant financial commitment from the Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust, valued at £10,500,000 GBP, the opportunity is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their operations in the UK educational sector, provided they can demonstrate strong quality and pricing propositions.
