The provision of the service must demonstrate the best value approach and be flexible in its delivery and operation to ensure that the needs and ethos of individual schools are supported.
This framework process is targeted to have a cleaning contract in place to commence in June 2022 for Armthorpe Academy, Heworth Grange School, Thornhill Academy and Wyvern Academy. Please note that this process covers all cleaning services within Consilium Academies schools with full tender costings and proposals for the schools for a contract start in June 2022 for Armthorpe Academy, Heworth Grange School, Thornhill Academy and Wyvern Academy. These details will be further explained in the ITT documents.
