Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services at Severn Vale School.

Severn Vale School educates students between the age range of 11-16 and currently has approximately 1 160 students on roll. In addition to this there are 130 teaching and support staff.

The School has had its best ever GCSE results this year to date and achievement levels are expected to continue to rise in the coming years.

Since becoming an Academy in 2012 Severn Vale School has reviewed a number of its contracts. The cleaning provision is currently part of the Gloucestershire County Council arrangement and therefore, to ensure Best Value principles are met, the School has decided to market test the cleaning service provision, basing the specification on site specific requirements of the School.

The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1.8.2014 to 31.7.2017.

The contract will be fixed price, with the contractor invoicing the client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. Any variations to the contract that are requested and agreed by the client should be invoiced at the agreed variation rate submitted within the tender submission.

Periodic cleans will form part of the tender specification and should be costed for within the financial submission.

The basis and rationale of the contract requires the successful contractor to operate to and at all times being able to provide a clean School fit for purpose supported by a proactive management / support team.

As part of the evaluation process the School is looking for robust contract support and an on site supervisory team who will respond to the Schools reactive as well as proactive requirements.

Severn Vale School is classed as an Eco School and is Green Flag commended. It is expected that the successful contractor will work closely with the School to reduce non-biodegradable products and litter.

The final annual turnover value was 86 000 GBP based on the tender specification. Additional costs were supplied to cover other periodic cleans which were not covered in the specification but may be considered by the School during the contract term.
