II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The appointment of a cleaning provider is an important decision for our governing body. Our aim is to secure outstanding provision for all our pupils in every aspect of their school experience. That starts, literally, from the ground up: if children see clean and tidy facilities, their presentation, behaviour and work will reflect this. The school places considerable value on its appearance: staff are expected to maintain their areas to a very high quality and we employ a specific member of staff to curate zones and displays. We entertain many visitors who come to observe best practice at Barnes Primary and our efforts in this regard would be immediately undermined if the environment was anything other than pristine.
Both pupil and staff questionnaires regularly reflect a desire that the school does all it can to protect the environment. The successful provider will be expected to support us in our efforts by utilising environmentally sound products and ensuring that school recycling initiatives are scrupulously maintained when bins are emptied.
Barnes Primary School is a split site school located in Barnes, London, SW13 0QQ. We are a thriving, oversubscribed two-form entry primary school with a nursery. The school was judged as Outstanding when it was last inspected by Ofsted in June 2008. We currently have 487 pupils across our two sites, including 62 in the Nursery. There are additionally 74 teaching and support staff onsite.
The value of the current contract was approximately £46,750 per annum prior to the pandemic. From April 2020 to March 2021, this rose to £49,990 as a result of COVID-secure requirements for additional cleaning of high touch point areas during the day.
Whilst the school prioritises value for money as a key objective of the Competitive Tender Process, the governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price.
