In plain English
Learning Community Trust (an NHS-linked multi-academy trust in Telford and Shropshire) needs a cleaning contractor to handle routine daily cleaning and periodical deep cleaning across 11 school sites. The contract runs for 3 years from April 2027, with optional extensions of 1+1 years based on performance.
What the buyer wants
• Provide regular routine cleaning services (daily/weekly) at 11 school sites • Deliver periodical/deep cleaning outside term-time periods • Meet agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from day one to qualify for contract extensions • Help improve staff morale and standardise cleaning standards across all Trust locations
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: Most small single-operative cleaning businesses will struggle with this contract: it covers 11 simultaneous sites, runs for 3 years with financial penalties for KPI failure, requires enhanced DBS vetting for all staff, and demands staffing flexibility across school holidays. You need established infrastructure, multiple trained staff, and a proven track record managing institutional multi-site contracts.
Always check the tender documents.
