Original Tender Description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for St Michael's CofE High School. St Michael’s is a Church of England High School located in Chorley, Lancashire and home to approx 1200 pupils. St. Michael’s staff, pupils, parents and governors work closely together to ensure that every pupil has the opportunity to grow in body, mind and spirit. The highest expectations and aspirations are key features of school life. This helps to create a vibrant learning community with pupils and staff demonstrating a real passion and zest for learning. The cleaning services at the school are currently contracted out with the existing contract due to come to an end in August 2026. The new contract will commence 1st September 2026 and will be for 3 years with the option to extend for a further two years.

The successful contractor will be expected to uphold high cleaning standards, demonstrate a strong commitment to monitoring standards and the ability to maintain standards and provide a high level of contract support.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for cleaning services at St Michael's Church of England High School is generally well-structured, with clear requirements and a defined process. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and detailed documentation content, impacting completeness and potentially fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to follow standard open procedure. The CPV code is appropriate. While no specific disputes are mentioned, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria could lead to subjective interpretations. Deadlines are provided, but the submission deadline might be considered short given the complexity of preparing a bid. Regulatory compliance is assumed but not explicitly detailed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Clarity80/100

The description of services and the school's ethos is clear. Requirements for experience, standards, and support are well-articulated. The use of the Delta eSourcing portal for information and response is clearly indicated. However, the discrepancy between the EUR and GBP contract values needs clarification.

Discrepancy in contract value (EUR vs. GBP)
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, duration, and start date are present. However, the crucial 'PSQ Document' is not directly accessible or summarized, and the tender documents section indicates 'Documents with content/summaries: 0', which significantly hinders a complete understanding of the requirements and evaluation. The lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds is noted.

No content available for tender documents
Missing PSQ Document details
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, promoting broad participation. The value is disclosed, and the use of an e-procurement portal is standard. Requirements for experience in the education sector are objective. However, the lack of published evaluation criteria could lead to perceived unfairness in the selection process. There are no obvious requirements tailored to specific companies.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The tender mandates e-submission via a specific portal, which is practical. The contract start date and duration are specified. Financing information is not explicitly detailed, and the absence of accessible tender documents makes practical assessment difficult. The deadline is provided, but its shortness impacts practicality.

No financing information provided
Short submission deadline
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. The contract duration and start date are logical. The CPV code is appropriate. The discrepancy between the EUR and GBP values is the primary inconsistency. No suspension or disputes are indicated.

Discrepancy in contract value (EUR vs. GBP)
Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. The tender is not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of focus on sustainability criteria.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
