The requirement covered four education sites: Smarden Primary School, Portfield Primary Academy, Debden Park High School, and King Harold Business & Enterprise Academy. The work is a recurring cleaning and caretaking service supporting the day-to-day operation of academy premises. The buyer is The Kemnal Academies Trust, an education organisation based in Sidcup. The requirement was divided by school, allowing suppliers to provide cleaning services for individual sites rather than one undifferentiated estate-wide service. The procurement is complete and contracts were awarded through a further competition under an established dynamic purchasing system, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. Pacific Support Services was awarded the Smarden Primary School lot at £85,340.56 and the Portfield Primary Academy lot at £264,488.24. Pendergate Limited was awarded the Debden Park High School lot at £1,111,238.54 and the King Harold Business & Enterprise Academy lot at £1,014,734.30. All contracts were signed on 17 June 2026. The contract starts on 1 July 2026 for Smarden and King Harold, 14 August 2026 for Debden Park, and 1 December 2026 for Portfield; all run to 30 June 2029, with extensions of up to two years. Five, seven, seven and six bids were received respectively. Evaluation weighted quality at 55% and price at 45% for each lot. This award demonstrates demand from an academy trust for managed cleaning services across primary and secondary school settings, with requirements ranging from individual-site provision to substantial high-school operations. A credible future supplier would need dependable commercial cleaning delivery, the capacity to staff and manage school premises, and the operational controls needed to maintain consistent service quality across different academies. Quality carried greater weight than price, so evidence of effective mobilisation, supervision, service standards and performance management would be important alongside competitive pricing. The awards also show that both an SME and a larger cleaning company were successful, indicating that suppliers of different scales can compete where they can demonstrate suitable capacity. Familiarity with YPO’s dynamic purchasing system and further-competition route would also be relevant. ## Notice The Kemnal Academies Trust has awarded contracts for the supply of Cleaning Services under the YPO Dynamic Purchasing System 879 Building in Use - Support Services, Lot 2 Cleaning and Caretaking.
