The Trust is seeking a suitably experienced Supplier who has current experience of working within the education sector, preferably within diverse Multi Academy Trusts, comprising both Primary and Secondary School establishments, to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of contracts of a similar size and nature. Ideally the successful Supplier will already have, or be willing to establish, a strong operational base within the South West, 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’ individual environments. 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 School is that the successful Supplier 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 Supplier is to be proactive in the management of the contract 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 Supplier 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 Supplier to ensure that the detailed specification is delivered within the contract on a consistent basis within the contract period.
A suitable support structure must be available to ensure that absences are covered at all times, providing minimal impact to the day to day cleaning of the premises.
