## Summary

The Stratford School Academy, located in the London Borough of Newham, has completed a procurement process for a cleaning services contract. The industrial category for this tender falls under school cleaning services, with the main procurement method being an open and competitive flexible procedure. Managed by Cohesion Consulting Limited, the tender involved a two-stage process starting with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT). Stratified under the framework of the UK Public Contracts Regulations, the contract is set to begin on 1st August 2026 for an initial duration of three years, with potential extension options up to July 2031. The total estimated turnover for this contract is approximately £700,000 over the initial term, indicating substantial business within the sector. The award was finalised on 22nd June 2026, with Birkin Cleaning Services Ltd being identified as the supplier, and the contractual standstill period concluding on 1st July 2026.

This contract offers significant opportunities for companies within the cleaning services industry, particularly those capable of maintaining high standards of service and proactive management. Businesses specialising in large scale operations, such as Birkin Cleaning Services Ltd, are well-suited to compete in this procurement process due to the requirement for a strong working relationship and consistent quality assurance reviews. With an estimated monetary value of £1,302,294 gross, this open procurement presents an enticing opportunity for further business growth and partnership. The requirement for high service levels and the presence of some staff on LGPS pension schemes may also make this an attractive proposition for companies with relevant experience and capabilities in the region, specifically those able to comply with the ABS status necessities between London Boroughs.

## Notice

Stratford School Academy is a co-educational Secondary Academy located in the London Borough of Newham. The Academy serves up to 1500 students aged 11 to 16 and employs approximately 165 teaching and support staff across its two sites. The current contract is with Purgo Supply Services and is part of an over-arching FM contract. The Academy is tendering its cleaning services for both sites and they are seeking a professional cleaning contractor to deliver an excellent level of service throughout the year. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2026, initially spanning three years with an option for both parties to extend the contract for a further two years, (3+1+1) beyond this date by mutual agreement. Any contract extension will be subject to the Academy's satisfaction and agreement on budgets and service levels. Some of the cleaning staff may have LGPS pension schemes and either having ABS in a London Borough, or the ability to achieve ABS status, will be essential for bidders. The estimated turnover for the three-year contract is in the region of PS700,000. The contract is focused on consistently high levels of cleaning service and pro-active management. Regular termly and annual reviews throughout the contract duration are mandatory, and a break clause should be included to support both parties in case the relationship does not thrive. The School expects high standards of support and a strong working relationship with the selected bidder. The procurement process follows a two stage 'Competitive Flexible' approach, beginning with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage after shortlisting.
