In plain English
St Mary's Church of England High School is looking for a cleaning contractor to clean and maintain their secondary school building (915 pupils, 138 staff) for 3 years from February 2027 to March 2030, with an optional 2-year extension. The work includes daily term-time cleaning plus periodic deep cleans throughout the year.
What the buyer wants
• Provide excellent daily cleaning services during school term times and periodic deep cleaning throughout the year • Manage and develop cleaning staff with strong leadership, communication, and staff retention plans to keep the school fully staffed at all times • Maintain consistently high cleanliness standards, ensure a safe and hygienic environment, and work responsively with school management • Consider innovative ideas for improving or enhancing the current cleaning service
Requirements
Named in the buyer's notice:
- Public Liability Insurance
What could rule a small business out: This is a large contract worth over £1 million for a 3-year term requiring robust staffing plans, strong management systems, and likely significant insurance and compliance overhead, which may disqualify very small sole-trader operations without existing institutional cleaning experience or formal management structures.
Always check the tender documents.
