The tender project is seeking to appoint a supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the school facilities. The high quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the pupils and staff.
The basis and rationale that the client requires the successful supplier to operate to at all times, is being able to provide a school that is fit for purpose and that the supplier is proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all specifications are achieved and that the frequency of cleans is as detailed within the tender specification.
The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.2.2019 until 31.1.2022 with the option to extend upon agreement with the client for a further 2-year period. The contract will be fixed price in nature, with the supplier invoicing the client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis.
It should be noted that the successful supplier will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BICSc standards being achieved, as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and also ensuring that the productivity of the cleaning operatives is enhanced moving forward into the new contract term.
At present there are 14 cleaning staff employed at this school where the structure is:
— 2 supervisors,
— 12 cleaning staff.
Please note the above structure and costs relate to the current cleaning provision, where as noted above the school will be in 2 buildings from the start of this contract which is a different arrangement to current, as they are waiting to move into the new Primary building.
The current incumbent contractor is Atlas Cleaning.
There are incumbent members of cleaning staff who are members of the LGPS.
