Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

McAuley is an 11-18 Catholic Voluntary Aided Secondary School which serves Doncaster and surrounding areas. We achieved Academy status in May 2014. We are an oversubscribed, highly successful school that constantly strives to improve in every area of school life. Our examination results are well above the national average and as a result of this combined with our strong Catholic, Christian ethos means students thrive.

The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services at The McAuley Catholic High School services at both upper and lower sites, which are 0.5 miles apart, the upper site being co-located with a stand-alone sixth Form centre.

The contract will commence on 1.10.2015 for a period of three (3) years.

This contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful contractor also guaranteeing both the number of input hours to the contract and the quality of cleaning provision.

We are seeking a suitably experienced contractor who has current experience of working within the secondary school or HE/FE market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the Doncaster area, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when required moving forwards into this contract term.

In support of the School's high expectations of the cleaning service, bidders are required to ensure that The Living Wage is factored into their proposals for all cleaning employees. It is anticipated the successful bidder shall introduce a biometric sign-in system to validate and report on staff hours worked.

The scope of the contract covers all cleaning provision within both sites at The McAuley Catholic High School, which are within a half mile radius. The successful contractor will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month thus updating the senior management team within the Academy on the contract performance.

The projected cost of cleaning for the current year is circa 190 000 GBP across both sites, however it is believed that through equipment and cleaning material innovation and the effective recruitment, training and supervision of cleaning staff there is considerable opportunity for improvement.
