The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services within the Lighthouse Schools Partnership.

The Lighthouse Schools Partnership is a recently established Multi Academy Trust (MAT) which includes currently the following schools where the successful contractor will be required to deliver a service and meet the requirements of the specification from the contract commencement.

The Schools which will be part of this tender and subsequent contract are:

— Gordano School;

— High Down Schools (Junior and Infant School);

— St Peters C of E Primary School;

— Portishead Primary School.

The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.4.2017 until 31.3.2020, with the option to extend for a further term and will be fixed price in nature, with the Contractor invoicing the Client for 1/12th of the annual cost on a monthly basis.

The Multi Academy Trust is expected to grow in the number of schools becoming part of the trust during this contract period, and the provision of cleaning services within these schools when they have joined the MAT may fall under the scope of this contract. The successful contractor will be expected to provide this service within these schools using the same costing model, ratios, etc. that they applied to their successful tender submission for the Lighthouse Schools Partnership at the point of tender submission. The duration of contract for these schools will not be increased and they will join the contract for the remaining contract period that exists at the point of entry into the MAT.
