About

Lux Mundi Catholic Academy Trust is seeking a supplier for fully managed lettings services across its network of ten schools in Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Haringey (including Our Lady of Muswell and St John Vianney joining in Nov 2026). The contract term is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029 with an option to extend up to two years to 31 March 2031; St Monica’s operates on a different start of 1 September 2028 to 31 March 2029 with the same extension option. The trust is looking for a partner to review and enhance current lettings, maximise income and asset use, actively promote facilities, deliver a consistent professional lettings service, strengthen community engagement and protect the trust’s reputation. The current annual lettings value is £780,000 (estimated contract value £3,900,000). Minimum requirements include employers’ liability and public liability insurance of £10 million and a minimum annual turnover of £1 million. Lettings are currently managed in-house except St Monica’s (managed by Schools Space); there are no incumbent staff eligible for TUPE or in the Local Government Pension Scheme. Procurement will follow a Competitive Flexible Procedure with a two-stage approach (PSQ to select 5–10 candidates with a minimum 60% score, then ITT with 50% price / 50% quality). The trust may add schools during the contract and reserves the right not to appoint.
