## Summary

The RPJ3 Group, located in Wirral, United Kingdom, is actively seeking proposals for the St Josephs Catholic Multi Academy Trust Framework Cleaning Tender 2026. This procurement process is part of the public authority's efforts to establish a multi-supplier framework for cleaning services across initially ten schools, with potential for additional schools to join. The competitive flexible procedure is currently in the tender stage, with interested suppliers required to submit their proposals by the end of April 2026. The framework is anticipated to begin in August 2026, following interviews planned for early May 2026, and will run for an initial period of three years, with an optional extension of up to two additional years. This tender opportunity is classified under school cleaning services (CPV code 90919300), with a projected contract value of £5,000,000, grossing up to £6,000,000 GBP.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses within the cleaning services industry, particularly those with strong local infrastructure and the ability to provide reliable labour resources and relief cover. The procurement method is selective, allowing well-prepared and competitive suppliers to participate through the completion of a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). Strategic business candidates will find that the framework agreement accepts between one to three participants, with considerations for both qualitative and financial profiles. SMEs are encouraged to express interest, especially those capable of demonstrating value and flexibility in service delivery to meet the varied needs of the trust’s schools. The proposal allows for re-opening competition, which can further enhance business prospects by enabling continuous engagement and adaptation to specific school requirements over the contract period.

## Notice

The St Josephs Catholic Multi Academy Trust are seeking to procure a number of providers for a multi-supplier framework for cleaning services. The main objective of this procurement exercise is to deliver the procurement of a framework that will enable the trust to source cleaning services for its schools. There are initially ten schools in this framework, however, other schools may call off later. It should be noted that it is not mandatory for trust schools to use this framework. Schools will only call off from this agreement if they have a requirement to do so. It is envisaged the number of contractors on the framework will be between 1 and 3 The provision of the service must demonstrate the best value approach and be flexible in its delivery and operation to ensure that the needs and ethos of individual schools are supported. This framework process is targeted to have a cleaning contract in place to commence in August 2026 for the initial direct award schools. Please note that this process covers all cleaning services within the St Josephs Catholic Multi Academy Trust schools with full tender costings and proposals for the school for a contract start in in August 2026 for the initial direct award schools. These details will be further explained in the ITT documents. The process will be through a competitive flexible procedure commencing with a participation stage to create a select bidder list following analysis of a PSQ document (within which the scoring criteria will be included). The nature of the contract demands a good local infrastructure to provide and maintain the level and standard of cleaning service and support required by the Trust. Labour resource/relief cover is very important. We have set a minimum Employer's (compulsory) liability insurance of 10,000,000 GBP). Following the analysis of PSQ's the selected bidders will be invited to attend a site survey and tender briefing initially planned for late March 2026. Tender response deadline is planned as late April 2026 and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in early May 2026. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period (5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).
