E-ACT Cleaning

The award winning E-ACT Multi Academy Trust is tendering the cleaning services in 35 Academies between London, Bristol, Birmingham, Daventry, Oldham and Sheffield. There are two Lots, one South with 18 Academies and one North with 17 Academies. The Trust supports many deserving communities in England.

The current contract is supported by Cleantec, Purgo, Atlas FM and four inhouse operations. With 35 Academies and over 18,550 students on roll in E-ACT; plus 2,292 students in the 6 Venturers Trust Schools and over 2,500 staff, this is an exceptional opportunity. The Venturers Trust are joining E-ACT by September 2024.

Should this merger be delayed for any reason then the mobilisation of the six Venturers Trust Academies will be delayed proportionately, with Venturers Trust remaining the signatory for that segment of the contract. This will allow the contract for the other Academies in both lots to commence in January 2025.
