The Cranmer Education Trust

We are a growing educational Trust based in East Manchester. We currently have 3 forms of entry in our Oldham primary schools and by September 2022, we will have 2,800 pupils across 3 secondary schools, including a brand new free school, The Brian Clarke Church of England Academy; this figure will rise by 240 pupils each year as our new school grows and as a Trust we expect to be at approximately 3,800 secondary-school age pupils by 2026. Whilst not part of this current tender, our Trust’s growth ambition is 10 forms of entry in our primary schools, all within East Manchester, by September 2023. As a result of this healthy rate of growth, the Trust is seeking a cleaning partner to initially provide a full on-site cleaning service to our three secondary schools.

The Trust strives for exceptional standards in learning, curriculum and behaviour and to provide our pupils and our staff with a wonderful place to learn and to work. The cleaning service is an integral part of this and the successful bidder will become a key part of the Trust family.

The contract will be for an initial period of three years with the option to extend for a further two years.

Please see SQ Document for further details.
