This procurement is under the remit of a public authority sub-central government classification, managed by a dedicated team at this maintained special needs school. The contract, valued at approximately £650,000 gross, covers a three-year service span beginning 1 April 2027, with potential extensions totalling two years. The tender is part of a competitive flexible procedure, currently in the tender stage, with key dates highlighting the enquiry period ending on 17 July 2026 and the tender submission deadline on 30 October 2026. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the cleaning services sector, particularly for those adept at managing large-scale cleaning contracts for educational institutions. The school caters to 208 pupils and employs around 170 staff, incorporating unique facilities such as a hydrotherapy pool and specialist sensory areas, requiring consistent and specialised cleaning regimes. The supplier must be capable of accommodating flexible schedules, including morning and ad-hoc cleaning sessions during school holidays and holiday clubs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are eligible to apply, making it a promising opportunity for businesses looking to expand their portfolio within the education sector. ## Notice The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Fort Royal Community Primary School. The annual contract value is approximately PS130,000 and the initial contract term will be three years, commencing 1 April 2027 and concluding 31 March 2030. The contract will operate on a guaranteed performance basis, offering a fixed annual subsidy. There will be an option to extend for a further term of one plus one years by mutual agreement. The school is located in Central Worcester and is a Maintained Primary special needs school with 208 pupils on roll and approximately 170 staff employed. They are a dedicated and enthusiastic team who are committed to providing the best possible education and care for the pupils and developing independence and social awareness to prepare them for productive and successful lives. There are 25 classes and fantastic facilities, including a hydrotherapy pool, specialist sensory areas and extensive outdoor learning environments both within the school grounds and attached to individual classes. The school runs in term time, but some support staff work all year round. Currently, the school is cleaned in the mornings prior to opening, with cleaning commencing from 6:00am during term time and on TED days. In addition, the school benefits from approximately four weeks of deep cleaning during holiday periods. Due to the morning cleaning schedule, there is a requirement for some ad hoc cleaning at the start of holiday periods (e.g. bin clearance), along with limited cleans a few times per week in key areas during the main school holidays (Easter, Summer, and Christmas). While the school is open to reviewing cleaning times, if the morning schedule is retained, they would like these ad hoc requirements to be formally incorporated into the contract. The school also hosts a holiday club during certain school holidays, which is currently supported through ad hoc cleaning arrangements. While there are no lettings at present, the school would like flexibility within the contract to accommodate this should it change in the future. Please see PSQ Document for more information.
