Who we work with ## From single primary schools to university campuses Primary and secondary schools Term-time cleaning, holiday deep cleans, gutters and playground washing, lock-up and alarm response, and fire alarm, intruder and CCTV maintenance. Multi-academy trusts Consistent cleaning specifications, security arrangements and system maintenance across the schools in a trust, with one group to talk to. Independent schools Cleaning across larger estates and sports facilities, out-of-hours security and keyholding, and access control and CCTV for open grounds. Further education colleges Multi-building campus cleaning, security officers, CCTV and access control for students, staff and visitors, plus Martyn's Law readiness. Universities Campus-wide cleaning teams, vacation deep cleans, campus guarding and fire and security systems across teaching, admin and residential buildings. New buildings and refurbishments Builders cleans before handover and new fire, access control and security systems installed with the main electrical contractor. One Group, Growing Together ## Trusted for one service. Chosen for much more. Our strongest partnerships often begin with a single service. As clients get to know our people and capabilities, those relationships develop into wider opportunities across cleaning, security and technical services. Education / Leeds ### A relationship built on trust, and won back on merit For more than a decade, SPS Group supported a Leeds secondary school and sixth form through cleaning, security and technical services. While the cleaning contract moved to another provider in 2024 following a competitive tender, the school retained SPS Security and SPS Technical for their specialist expertise. In October 2026, ICS Cleaning successfully secured the cleaning contract again, bringing all three services back together under SPS Group. Next opportunity Identifying further savings through a group-wide review of washroom and paper consumables. Higher education / Lincolnshire ### From a cleaning contract to a 25-year partnership What began as a cleaning contract with a Lincolnshire university in 2000 has developed into a long-standing, multi-service partnership spanning cleaning, security, portering and postal services. Through successive competitive retenders, the Group has continued to demonstrate its value. The latest soft facilities management agreement extends the relationship further, while SPS Technical supports intruder alarm and CCTV installation and maintenance across the university estate. The result A trusted long-term partner supporting multiple essential services across a complex university environment. Multi-academy trust / Yorkshire ### Proven cleaning performance opens the door to trust-wide security Following the successful delivery of cleaning services across 13 academies, ICS Cleaning established a strong working relationship with the Trust. That confidence in our people, responsiveness and service delivery created an opportunity for SPS Technical, which subsequently secured the contract to provide CCTV, intruder alarm and access control systems across the Trust's estate. The result A single group relationship providing specialist cleaning and electronic security support across multiple schools. Through the school year ## Planned around term dates, not ours Most disruptive work happens when the building is empty. We plan cleaning, security and system work around your term calendar. Term time Daily cleaning and consumables, morning unlock and evening lock-up, alarm response and system servicing that works around the timetable. Christmas and Easter Holiday mobile patrols and keyholding while sites are empty, and short deep cleans before pupils return. Summer holidays The big window for deep cleans, floor care and carpets, gutters and pressure washing, and fire and security system upgrades and installs. Half terms Targeted periodic cleans, high-level cleaning and planned maintenance visits without disrupting lessons. Free tools ## Free tools for school business managers and estates teams Plan cleaning hours, build a specification, check your fire alarm or prepare for Martyn's Law, without filling in a contact form first.
