This procurement pertains to the industry category of school cleaning services and is located in the Wirral region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is in the tender stage, with expressions of interest due by 11 August 2026 and the tender submission deadline set for early November 2026. The tender aims to establish a multi-supplier framework contract for school cleaning services, with the contract commencement expected in April 2027. The procurement method employed is a competitive flexible procedure, allowing for multiple suppliers to be assessed on qualitative and financial submissions. The framework is set to last for three years, with an option for two additional one-year extensions. The overall contract value is estimated at £900,000, and the contract seeks to ensure flexibility and best value in service delivery. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, primarily those with robust local infrastructure and the capacity to maintain high service standards as required by the Learning Trust. The framework aims to include up to three suppliers, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to compete, provided they meet economic and technical criteria outlined in the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). The process includes a site survey and tender briefing, followed by interviews, creating ample opportunity for businesses to showcase their competencies. The requirement for £10,000,000 in employer’s liability insurance implies the need for well-established businesses to partake in the process. Interested suppliers will benefit from participating in a fair and competitive procurement environment, leading to a potential five-year engagement depending on performance and requirement fulfilment. ## Notice The Learning 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 is initially one school 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 April 2027 for the initial direct award school. Please note that this process covers all cleaning services within the Learning Trust school with full tender costings and proposals for the school for a contract start in in April 2027 for the initial direct award school. 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.
