Cardinal Heenan & Broughton Hall Catholic High Schools & Joint 6th Form Cleaning Tender 2025/6

Cardinal Heenan and Broughton Hall Catholic High Schools and joint 6th Form centre are seeking to procure a provider for cleaning services. The provision of the service must demonstrate the best value approach and be flexible in its delivery and operation to ensure that the needs and ethos of the individual schools are supported.

This tender process is targeted to have a cleaning contract in place to commence on 29th May 2026. Please note that this process covers all cleaning services within Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School, Broughton Hall Catholic High school and the joint 6th form centre with full tender costings and proposals for each school for a contract start in on 29th May 2026.

These details will be further explained in the ITT documents. The tender process will be through a competitive flexible procedure commencing with a participation stage to create a select bidder list following analysis of a PSQ document (within which the scoring criteria will be included).

The nature of the contract demands a good local infrastructure to provide and maintain the level and standard of cleaning service and support required by the schools. Labour resource/relief cover is very important.

We have set a minimum level of turnover for this tender at 250,000 GBP which takes into account the contract turnover and cash flow associations. This is a discretionary pass/fail question on the basis that we will consider any additional guarantees and formal assurances such as parent company guarantors or similar which must be included to support any submission.

We have set a minimum Employer's (compulsory) liability insurance of 10,000,000 GBP). Following the analysis of PSQ’s the selected bidders will be invited to attend a site survey and tender briefing initially planned for December 2025.

Tender response deadline is planned as early January 2026 and it is envisaged that interviews will take place in early February 2026. The contract will be for a 3 +1 +1 period (5 years in total including the option to extend for 1 + 1years).
