The tender project is seeking to appoint an established and proven supplier whose commitment, initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities for four schools in SAF, with the potential for the fifth school in SAF coming on board during the contract. The high-quality service levels proposed will ensure excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment to enable our staff to deliver excellent teaching and learning for students at our schools.
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, clean and sanitary. The client requires the supplier to be extremely proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all specifications are rigorously achieved and that the frequency and depth of cleans is as detailed within the tender specification.

It should be noted that the successful supplier will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; effective cleaning methods, high-quality health and safety training for operatives, robust monitoring and supervision structures, with BICSc standards being achieved, as a minimum. The supplier will ensure that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and that the effectiveness of the cleaning operatives is managed robustly to enhance their productivity moving forward into the new contract term.
• the total value of the current cleaning provision across these four schools within the SAF is GBP 355 000 per annum and therefore the value of the contract over the maximum five-year term is GBP 1 775 000;
• please be advised that the Trust has a minimum requirement for a supplier’s employers liability/public liability and professional indemnity insurance of GBP 10 million;
