## Summary

Steel River Academy Trust procured school cleaning services across its Trust. The requirement covers cleaning operations for educational premises delivered across the Trust’s estate, with the buyer based in Middlesbrough. The procurement is classified as school cleaning services and sits within the services category. The selected provider is United Cleaning Solutions Ltd, a large cleaning company based in Glasgow. This indicates a requirement suited to organisations able to deliver consistent school cleaning across a broad, multi-location estate rather than a single-site service. The work concerns routine contracted cleaning provision for the Trust’s schools and demonstrates demand from an education-sector buyer for an established operational cleaning service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a limited procedure without a published competition, using a dynamic purchasing system. United Cleaning Solutions Ltd received the active award. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and has a value of £1,244,393.61. Nine bids were recorded. The tender was arranged as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award remains active. Price accounted for 30% of the stated evaluation criteria. The procurement was conducted outside the scope of the relevant directive and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The buying organisation is Steel River Academy Trust.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need proven capability in school and education-sector cleaning, with the operational capacity to manage services across a wide Trust estate. The awarded supplier’s large-company scale indicates that workforce planning, mobilisation, supervision and consistent standards across multiple locations are important commercial considerations. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery across dispersed sites, manage cleaning teams and maintain service continuity in occupied educational premises. Strong cost control will also matter because price formed part of the evaluation. Experience of working with academy trusts or comparable multi-site public-sector estates would help a competitor show that it can meet the buyer’s operational and administrative demands.
