In plain English
Yorkshire Learning Trust is hiring a single cleaning company to look after 17 schools (3 senior, 14 primary) across North Yorkshire and York. The contract is worth approximately £1.2m per year and will run in two phases, starting March 2027, with optional extensions available.
What the buyer wants
• Provide daily cleaning and janitorial services across all 17 schools in the trust • Work to a phased timetable: 11 schools from 31 March 2027, and 6 schools from 31 July 2027 • Be prepared for the trust to add more schools to the contract as they grow in future
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: You will almost certainly need Enhanced DBS clearance to work in schools, which takes time and money. The contract is large (17 schools across multiple sites), so you need to be able to manage multiple locations, multiple teams, and significant coordination: a one-person operation will not be competitive.
Always check the tender documents.
