A primary school shows how bringing cleaning in-house has helped save money in this school finance resource. Zena Smart, bursar of Ranelagh Primary School in Newham, realised that the local authority cleaning contract was costing a lot of money. After a visit by Department for Education Procurement Expert, Claire Dicks, Zena decided to take the cleaning in-house. Zena explains how this process involved a great deal of administration (following the Transfer of Undertakings - TUPE - regulations), organisation and initial outlay on cleaning equipment and materials. But as a result of the change, Zena has managed to gain more cleaning hours while saving the school a significant sum of money.
