two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The contract being tendered is for three years in duration, with the option to extend for a further term of three years on the same terms and conditions excluding the right to further extend. The contract will be fixed price in nature, with the Contractor invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. Whilst the monthly charge will represent one-twelfth of the contract cost, a reconciliation will take place monthly to reconcile the actual hours worked within the contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for a credit will be required by the school. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract cost (fixed cost) by the number of annual input hours to arrive at a contractual cost per hour, this will then be multiplied by the number of hours due to arrive at the fiscal credit. The school requires that the tendered number of hours are worked at all times and the successful contractor is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave. The basis and rationale that the Client requires is for the successful contractor to operate to at all times is being able to provide a sparkling school that are fit for purpose and that the Contractor is proactive in the management of the contract and has a keen eye for the attention to detail within all cleaning and housekeeping duties, thus ensuring that all output specifications are achieved and that the required frequency of cleans are delivered on a consistent basis. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of services. The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a clean and pleasant environment for students, staff and visitors within all of the schools consistently. It should be noted that the successful contractor will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BIC’S standards being achieved, as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest possible levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and also ensuring that the productivity of the cleaning operatives is enhanced moving forward into the new contract term. The successful contractor will be expected to put forwards both innovation and their proposals for making this contract more environmentally sensitive and carbon neutral moving into this contract term both by way of contract delivery, and also within the successful contractor’s organisation, thus working to deliver St Edward’s College’s environmental polices. The terms and conditions of employment and recognition offered to the cleaning operatives should be both progressive and forward thinking ensuring that the staffing establishment is complete at all times and staff turnover is kept to a minimum. It goes without saying that successful Supplier will be expected under TUPE to meet the current terms and conditions of employment, including that of LGPS pension benefits where applicable. The current annual cost of the contract is circa £180,000.
