Abstract

The tender project is seeking to appoint a supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities for the schools. 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 schools that are 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 client expects the supplier to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned absence of the staff dedicated to the contract.

The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.9.2020 until 31.8.2023 with the option to extend, upon agreement with the schools, 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.

Please be advised that the Trust has a minimum requirement for a supplier’s employer’s liability/public liability and professional indemnity insurance of 2 000 000 GBP.

The minimum annual turnover that your organisation must have achieved to be considered for this opportunity is 500 000 GBP.

The annual value of the current contract is 130 000 GBP.
