The successful tenderer will be required to provide the planned preventative and reactive maintenance services at Weston College.

The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.1.2015 until 31.12.2017. The value is in the region of 200 000 GBP (two hundred thousand pounds sterling) per annum.

The successful tenderer will be required to provide Planned, Preventative and Reactive Building Maintenance (Mechanical, Electrical and Building Fabric) at Weston College.

The College has multiple campuses and the scope of this contract initially includes Knightstone Road, South West Skills Campus, University Campus, Weston College Conference Centre and The Weston Bay Hotel.

Due to the nature of the College Building Programme, the maintenance arrangements need to be integrated, enabling the College to continue to undertake its core business. It should be borne in mind that all equipment fitted during any new Building work will be under warranty, covered and maintained by the installing contractor for the first year.

As part of the contract submission the College also requires the Contractor to supply a competitive agreed day work rate for both normal and out of hours working. The contract is fixed price and any variations to the contract that are requested by the Client should be invoiced at an agreed rate and should be calculated on an hourly rate per employee, as required to carry out the variation to the satisfaction of the contract supervising officer.

Whilst the monthly charge will represent the fixed cost, a reconciliation will take place monthly to reconcile the actual tasks worked within the contract. If the tasks worked are less than those invoiced a credit will be required by the College. The College requires that the tendered amount of tasks 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 the successful contractor to operate to at all times is being able to provide a functioning premises that is fit for purpose and that the Contractor is proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all specifications and the frequency of tasks is as detailed within the tender are achieved.

Please ensure that within your proposal you have allowed for adequate contract supervision.
