What is being bought

Published requirement description

St Angela’s is a voluntary-aided secondary school for girls (11-16) in the London Borough of Newham. The school has six forms (equating to a pupil admission number of 192 students) on entry for the 11-16 girls’ school with a mixed sixth form centre, predominantly of girls, of 400 students.

The school population serves the Catholic population of the borough and 90% of the school population are from ethnic minorities.

St Angela's is a focused, hardworking and friendly Catholic school, aiming to provide every opportunity for our students to achieve their very best and to leave our school confident and independent young women, well equipped for higher education and life beyond.

As a Leading Edge school we continue to push the frontiers of education in every direction and have embraced new teaching and learning initiatives, allowing our students to learn and achieve at impressively high rates. We carefully monitor individual progress and provide the highest standard of pastoral care and learning support.

Tender information:

The successful tenderer will be required to provide excellent cleaning services at St Angela’s School, which has 1290 pupils and 120 teaching and support staff.

The contract term being tendered for 3 years, from 01/04/2026 – 31/03/2029. There is an option for a further extension period for up to two additional years to 31/03/2031.

The contract offers an excellent opportunity to review and propose enhancements to the current cleaning services at the schools. This includes both core term time cleaning and periodic deep cleaning throughout the year.

The school is keen to secure a high quality cleaning service whereby its students are able to enjoy excellence in education, supported by excellently kept facilities.

The school expects both a tightly managed service and high levels of productivity to be delivered by the cleaning staff at all times, and the school expects a management style delivered by the successful contractor that supports, encourages and develops the cleaning staff.

The school is not obliged to accept the lowest price submitted for this tender, rather the school is keen to secure best value from this contract and to deliver best value to its students. Innovative and creative ideas as to how the cleaning services can be developed and improved, will be welcomed. The school seeks a contractor that is keen to work in partnership and who will deliver to its highest abilities, at all times.

  • How the procedure runs: This procurement will be run under the Competitive Flexible Procedure. This will follow a two stage approach, with stage 1 being the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ). Here a minimum of 5 candidates (or less, in the event less than 5 meet the minimum criteria) and a maximum of 10 candidates, will progress to stage 2. Any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement and a minimum score of 60% must be achieved. Selected tenderers will then be invited to stage 2, the Invitation To Tender (ITT). Here, the evaluation of tender response will be set as 35% price and 65% quality.
