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 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 two years and three months in duration from 1 May 2020 until 31 August 2022 with the option to extend upon agreement with the school, 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.

Current cleaning arrangement:

At present there are eight cleaning staff employed at LAE where the structure is:

• one non working cleaning supervisor,

• seven cleaning operatives (Ground, 1, 2, 3, 4, Agora, toilet),

• there is a cleaner present in School during the day.

The current incumbent contractor is Birkin cleaning services.

None of the incumbent members of cleaning staff are members of the LGPS.

Please be advised that the client has a minimum requirement for a supplier's employers liability/public liability and professional indemnity insurance of GBP 5 million.

The minimum annual turnover that your organisation must have achieved to be considered for this opportunity is GBP 1 million.
