There are currently two additional Schools in consultation with the Trust and it is expected that these Schools will join the Trust prior to the commencement of this contract; they will be included within this tender process at a later stage when details can be released.
Further to the above, a third School is expected to be joining the Trust during the initial contract term.
The Trust is seeking a suitably experienced contractor who has current experience of working within the education sector, preferably within Primary School establishments, to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of contracts of a similar scope. Ideally the successful contractor will have a strong operational base with the South West region, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when needed moving forwards into this contract term.
The scope of the contract covers all of the cleaning provision within each of the Schools. This includes term time daily cleaning, plus a number of weeks for holiday and periodic cleaning during non-term time to provide a deeper clean of the Schools and their buildings to ensure they are suitably prepared for the beginning of each academic term.
The requirement of the Trust is that the successful contractor provides a clean and functioning premises, as per the specification, that is fit for purpose at all times through delivering the guaranteed level of input hours. As part of that requirement, the successful contractor is to be proactive in the management of the contract, with regular site visits to each School, with open lines of communication. That communication must include frequent and proactively provided management information, as well as operating an open book policy.
TUPE is expected to apply and it is anticipated that some employees may be members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and therefore the successful contractor would be expected to gain Admitted Body Status (ABS) in order to continue contributing to the scheme.
A robust level of management support must be provided by the successful contractor to ensure that the detailed specification is delivered within the contract on a consistent basis within the contract period.
The Contractor may be asked to undertake works not included in this Specification. Aside from the cost of materials, where possible additional works should be delivered within the hours of the existing cleaning operatives or, where necessary, provided by additional staff paid for on an agreed hourly basis or by a quoted fixed price.
