Morpeth School, together with Old Palace Primary School and Cubitt Town Primary School, all within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, is undertaking a joint procurement exercise for the provision of cleaning services across all three sites. This collaborative approach has been adopted to achieve consistency of service, economies of scale and operational efficiencies, while recognising the individual needs and identities of each school.

Old Palace Primary School, a two-form entry primary school, and Cubitt Town Primary School both provide inclusive, nurturing environments for pupils age 4-11, with a strong focus on wellbeing, achievement and high standards of education. The contract will be tendered as a single procurement exercise, however the Schools expressly reserve the right to award the contract either as a single combined contract across all sites, or as separate individual contracts for each school, based on what is deemed to provide the most advantageous outcome for each school. Bidders are therefore required to submit proposals that clearly demonstrate their ability to delivery both a combined and where requested an individual model. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2026, initially spanning three years with an option for both parties to extend the contract for a further two years, (3+1+1) beyond this date by mutual agreement. Any contract extension will be subject to the Schools’ satisfaction and agreement on budgets and service levels. Some of the cleaning staff have LGPS pension schemes and either having ABS in a London Borough, or the ability to achieve ABS status, will be essential for bidders. The estimated combined turnover for the three-year duration is approximately £1.7 million. The contract is focused on consistently high levels of cleaning service and pro-active management. Regular termly and annual reviews throughout the contract duration are mandatory, and a break clause should be included to support both parties in case the relationship does not thrive. The School expects high standards of support and a strong working relationship with the selected bidder. The procurement process follows a two stage ‘Competitive Flexible’ approach, beginning with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage after shortlisting. The Schools reserve the right not to award the contract, including the option to pursue alternative delivery models, or to award on a site-by-site basis, should submissions fail to meet the required standard.
