CAT-02 · Cleaning

One cleaning standard, every site.

Harmonised specifications, right-sized hours and one accountable supplier across every site, with TUPE handled properly.

The problem with school-by-school cleaning

When every school manages its own cleaning contract, standards drift, costs rise unevenly and nobody has a clear view of what the trust is paying for. We regularly find duplicated supervision, inconsistent pay rates and hours that no longer match how buildings are used.

What we handle

  • Site visits to every school to understand buildings, usage and current hours
  • A harmonised specification setting out areas, frequencies and the standard expected
  • A staffing model that puts hours where they are needed, not where they have always been
  • A compliant tender, through a national framework or your own procedure, with site visits for bidders
  • Weighted cost and quality evaluation, so the cheapest bid only wins if it can deliver
  • TUPE information, staff consultations and a managed mobilisation
  • KPIs, audit regimes and contract terms covering performance and termination

What changes afterwards

One supplier, one point of contact and one monthly invoice. Across our cleaning projects, trusts have seen audit scores rise by 10 to 20% in the first term and administration time fall by 40 to 60%.

The challenge

Each school managed its own cleaning contract, so standards varied, costs kept rising and nobody had a Trust-wide view.

What we did

  • Visited all seven schools and reviewed specifications, costs and staffing
  • Wrote one harmonised Trust-wide specification
  • Ran a two-stage tender with weighted scoring
  • Drafted Trust-specific terms on TUPE, performance and termination
