The successful supplier will be required to provide cleaning services at Valentines High School.

Full details in relation to Valentines High School may be obtained by visiting: http://www.valentines-school.org.uk

Client objectives:

1) The client is looking for a fixed price contract cost to the school;

2) The client is now seeking proposals for maintain and improve the cleaning services while remaining cost-effective and affective for the entire school community;

3) There are currently approximately 1300 students and 150 teaching and support staff within the school;

4) The contract being tendered is for 36 months in duration from August 2019 until July 2022.

The contract is fixed price with the Supplier invoicing the client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. Any variations to the contract that are requested by the client should be invoiced at the agreed rate and should be calculated on an hourly rate per employee needed to carry out the variation to the satisfaction of the contract supervising officer.

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 client. The client requires that the tendered amount of hours are worked at all times.

The basis and rationale that the client requires the successful supplier to operate to at all times is being able to provide a clean school that is fit-for-purpose and that the supplier is proactive in the management of the contract.
