Description
The successful Supplier will be required to provide Cleaning services for Yorkshire Learning Trust.
The expected annual value is £1.2m with a contract length of 3 for phase 1; and 2 years 8 months for phase 2, plus optional 2 x 1-year extensions.
The trust has ambitions to grow and retains the right to add schools to the contract as they grow.
The Yorkshire Learning trust consists of 3 senior schools and 14 primary schools. The trust has 3 cleaning partners with the contract for 11 of the schools coming to its natural end on 31st March 2027, with the remaining 6 schools cleaning contracts ending on 31st July 2027. The trust wishes to appoint a single cleaning supplier for all schools, with a phased start to reflect the current contract end dates with all schools in the new contract with an initial contract term end date of 31st March 2030
Formed through the merger of STAR Multi Academy Trust and South York Multi Academy Trust, YLT builds on a proud legacy of collaboration and excellence across North Yorkshire and York.
