In plain English
Delta Academies Trust is setting up a framework agreement to buy cleaning services for their schools and facilities. This is a pre-agreed arrangement where they can call off cleaning work as needed, rather than running separate tenders each time.
What the buyer wants
• Provide regular contract cleaning services (likely daily/weekly janitorial cleaning of school buildings, classrooms, toilets, corridors and common areas) • Deliver cleaning to agreed standards and schedules across multiple Delta Academies Trust locations • Manage cleaning teams, equipment, and supplies to maintain health and safety standards in educational settings
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
DBS clearance requirement will disqualify anyone with certain criminal convictions; the £2m estimated value suggests this covers multiple schools, so you'll need to demonstrate you can manage large-scale cleaning operations across several sites simultaneously and employ/manage enough staff to cover all locations.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
