## Summary

The Tenterden Schools Trust has recently completed a procurement process under a selective procedure for school cleaning services. The process was organised within the education sector and took place in Kent, region UKJ4, with the contracting authority being Tenterden Schools Trust. This procurement process reached the 'award' stage on 23rd September 2025, which followed the initial tender stage that began earlier in the year. The contract, valued at approximately £2.79 million, was awarded to Town and Country Cleaners Ltd, commencing on 1st November 2025, and involves an initial period of three years with potential extensions of up to two additional years. Key arrangements included a standstill period as per the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, ensuring time for any challenges to the award decision.

This contract offers substantial business opportunities, particularly for service providers specialising in cleaning services. With the setup through a restricted procedure, the process ensured that high-quality standards were enforced, calling for firms that demonstrate strong credentials in service provision. The participation of small and medium-sized enterprises was notable, as all submitted bids came from such entities. The awarded contract provides a platform for the successful bidder to expand their portfolio and reputation in the educational sector. Moreover, firms capable of providing comprehensive cleaning solutions throughout the academic year would find such opportunities beneficial for long-term growth and stability.
