The requirement covers regular, routine cleaning during term time and more specific periodic cleaning outside term-time operations. The contract is intended to improve the consistency of cleaning standards across the Trust, reset service expectations and support staff morale. This is a services contract for school cleaning, covering the Trust’s estate rather than a single premises. Suppliers should therefore be able to coordinate cleaning delivery across multiple education sites and work around school operating arrangements. The opportunity is relevant to commercial cleaning companies, specialist education-sector cleaning providers and other organisations able to deliver a managed, multi-site cleaning service. The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with a preceding provider selection stage and a shortlist before invitations to tender. Enquiries close at 12 noon on 12 October 2026, and the deadline for returning the PSQ is 10am on 19 October 2026. Site visits are scheduled for 11 November 2026, with attendee details due by 6 November; tender clarifications close on 20 November and ITTs must be returned by 30 November 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible 12-month extensions to 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £3,154,888.86 including tax. Evaluation is price 35% and quality 65%, covering service delivery, staffing, customer care, clarification meeting, and added value. The opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as well as established cleaning contractors with the operational capacity to serve 11 school sites. Strong candidates will be able to plan and control routine and periodic cleaning across a distributed estate, maintain consistent standards between locations and manage staff effectively. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price, with particular emphasis on the proposed service delivery model and analysis of staffing. Customer care, participation in the clarification meeting and the added value offered also contribute to the score. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate how they will support personnel, improve morale, manage day-to-day performance and work against agreed key performance indicators from the start of service. ## Notice The Learning Community Trust is a well-established MAT in Telford and Shropshire who are seeking a contractor to provide cleaning services at 11 of their sites. Cleaning of a regular and routine nature is required, together with more specific periodical cleaning outside of the term-time operation. The contract will be awarded for a period of 3 years commencing 1st April 2027 with an option to extend for a further one plus one years, which will be measured on the achievement of agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPI's), from Day One of the contract. The Trust values the personnel employed to deliver their services, and by tendering the cleaning contract are seeking to reset expectations for the cleaning provision, improve staff morale and consolidate consistent cleaning standards across the Trust. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Extensions allowed: Yes (2 x 12 months) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/088274-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 19 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2027 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,154,888 | | Lots value | £3,154,888 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Learning Community Trust | | Locality | TELFORD | | Postcode area | Telford | | Postcode | TF2 9TW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG21 Telford and Wrekin | | Local authority | Telford and Wrekin | | Electoral ward | Oakengates & Ketley Bank | | Westminster constituency | Telford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90919300 - School cleaning services ## Release History - 17 Sep 2026 at 14:18 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/088274-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/088274-2026 17th September 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://suppliers.multiquote.com - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
