## Summary

Star Academies has concluded the award stage of a procurement process for the provision of building cleaning services at its educational facilities. The awarded contract, following an open procedure, covers cleaning services for both the Small Heath Leadership Academy and Star King Solomon Academy located in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The contract was signed on 3rd July 2025 and will commence on 1st September 2025 with a base period of two years, extendable up to an additional two years. The contract, valued at approximately £2.23 million gross, is targeted at maintaining a clean and professional learning environment for students, emphasising both daily upkeep and intensive cleaning during school break periods.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for large-scale cleaning service providers like AEFM Limited, which has been awarded the contract.

A robust understanding and capability to propose cost-effective solutions while maintaining high standards of cleanliness aligned with Star Academies' goals for a supportive educational atmosphere will prove beneficial for any prospective contractors looking to expand within the public services sector.
