Notice Title

Hall Green School - Tender for Cleaning Services.

Notice Description

Hall Green School celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2014. The school moved from Sparkhill Commercial College on the Stratford Road, to the current location in Southam Road, in 1964. Hall Green is a popular, vibrant and successful school with a track record of high standards and successful outcomes for pupils of all backgrounds and ability. The diversity of the school population enriches the lives of all the community and has earned the school an enviable reputation for inclusion. Hall Green is a school that continually seeks to build on the successes of the past and adapt to the needs of the future and is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of its pupils. In a changing world, the school continues to focus on the essentials that make Hall Green successful: the quality of teaching and learning; personal pastoral care for every individual in the school; strong relationships with parents, carers and the wider community. The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Hall Green School and the tender project is seeking to appoint a Supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the existing facilities. The high quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the students and staff. The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful Supplier to operate to at all times, is being able to provide an environment that is fit for purpose and that the Supplier is proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all specifications are achieved and that the frequency of cleans is as detailed within the tender specification. The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1.8.2018 until 31.7.2021, with the option to extend the contract term for a further term of up to 2 years and will be fixed price in nature, with the Supplier invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. It should be noted that the successful Supplier will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BICSc standards being achieved as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest 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 annual value of the current cleaning contract is circa 82 000 GBP + VAT. At present 9 cleaning operatives are employed to work between the hours of 15:15 and 18:15 for 121.25 hours per week in total, Monday to Friday.
