## Summary

Aston University STEM Education Academy Trust (AUSEAT), sponsored by Aston University, is procuring school cleaning services for three specialist institutions: Aston University Engineering Academy, Aston University Mathematics School and Aston University Goldsmiths Institute. The services cover two sites at 1 and 2 Lister Street, Birmingham. The requirement includes regular, routine cleaning during term-time operations and more specific periodic cleaning outside term time. This is a services contract for education premises, classified as school cleaning services. It may suit contractors providing planned and periodic cleaning, staffing and supervision across multiple education buildings, with the ability to maintain consistent service standards at both Birmingham sites.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using staged pre-selection and tendering. The deadline for returning the initial PSQ is 10am on 5 October 2026; enquiries close at 12 noon on 28 September 2026. Shortlisted providers are due to receive the ITT by 16 October 2026, with site visits on 22 October and ITT returns due by 10am on 16 November 2026. The contract is valued at £562,422 gross, in GBP. It runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions up to 31 March 2032. Award scoring is price 35%, staffing analysis 20%, service delivery 20%, clarification meeting 10%, customer care 10% and added value 5%.

The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is commercially relevant to established school or education-sector cleaning contractors, facilities service providers and specialist cleaning businesses able to deliver both routine and periodic work. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate a credible staffing model, effective service delivery arrangements and strong customer-care processes, as these account for substantial parts of the evaluation. The staged process requires organisations to pass the initial PSQ before being shortlisted for the ITT, and shortlisted providers are expected to attend a site visit and a clarification meeting. The multi-site requirement suits providers with sufficient operational capacity to coordinate teams and maintain consistent standards across Birmingham premises.
