## Summary

The procurement process initiated by UNITY SCHOOLS PARTNERSHIP, a public authority in Haverhill, United Kingdom, involved a tender for School Cleaning Services slated to consolidate cleaning efforts for six schools under one contract, with potential for expansion. Initially launched with an open procedure and valued at £144,000, the contract operated across several UK regions, including UKC through UKK. The procurement stages included an active tender process with deadlines extending from May to June 2025, although it was eventually terminated in January 2026 due to quality and pricing concerns of the responses, as detailed in a published cancellation notice.

This tender initially provided a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in school cleaning services, especially those focusing on quality service at competitive pricing. The need for a comprehensive cleaning service across multiple schools presented substantial growth possibilities, particularly for SMEs prepared to meet quality and pricing criteria under open procedure mandates. Firms capable of leveraging electronic submission and offering scalable cleaning solutions could find future iterations of this contract advantageous, especially with the buyer’s aim to unify cleaning services across additional schools over time.

## Notice

The Academy schools have historically procured their own suppliers to carry out the cleaning activities. Some Unity schools also utilise either a mix of contractor and inhouse staff or are fully staffed with their own cleaners. The ambition of Unity is to have all schools under one contract, but it will be left to the Heads of each school to determine what's best for them. This contract will be for six schools with the option to add more at a later date.
