## Summary

St Catherine’s CofE Primary School is seeking a supplier to provide cleaning services at its primary school in Kidderminster, Worcestershire. The work covers the school’s cleaning service, currently delivered by six evening cleaners, with standard cleaning during the school year and periodic cleaning across the year; there is no daytime cleaning provision in the current arrangement. The school serves children aged 4 to 11 and has around 414 pupils, with capacity for 420, as well as teaching and support staff. The school describes its focus as supporting children’s academic, social and emotional development, and values positive relationships across its community. This is a school-cleaning services requirement for a single site.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. The tender and enquiry deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00. The stated award decision date was 14 December 2026. The tender description gives an initial three-year term from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an extension of up to three years by mutual agreement. The lot data instead gives a contract period from 1 February 2027 to 31 December 2030, extendable to 31 December 2033; these published contract dates differ. The stated annual contract value is approximately £78,000, and the estimated total value is £468,000 gross. Quality accounts for 70% of evaluation and price for 30%.

The requirement is aimed at suppliers with a proven record of delivering cleaning services in the primary school sector. A strong operational presence in the West Midlands is preferred, so suppliers able to provide responsive contract support, maintain operational resilience and offer flexibility are particularly well placed. The service is paid at a fixed annual contract price on a guaranteed-performance basis. The supplier must deliver the hours budgeted in the contract: monthly reconciliation compares hours worked with those budgeted, and any shortfall requires a credit to the school. This calls for dependable staffing and service management, accurate recording of hours and the ability to address any delivery gaps. The school’s emphasis on relationships and children’s development makes experience working in a school environment directly relevant.
