Malden & Coombe Partnership, Surrey

Four maintained schools in Surrey approached SBC about cleaning. Although their individual contracts needed to be renewed, SBC tendered on behalf of all of the schools so that they can join the new contract, as and when their existing contracts expire.

The tender needed to be flexible, and we developed this using ‘lots’ on the basis that they could better access SME’s playing to the new compliance rules and regulations. We were able to take advantage of an aggregated sum of money, as well as put in place a best value arrangement for the future.
