Notice Title

Chase Terrace Technology College, Norton Canes High School and Great Wyrley High School -- Tender for Cleaning Services.

Notice Description

Chase Terrace Technology College, Norton Canes High School and Great Wyrley High School are forward thinking, exciting and educationally challenging environments. All of the Schools' fundamental principles centre on the teaching and learning experience, with students at the core of all work. The Schools believe in academic rigour, the concept of improving on previous best and are proud of their ethos, their teachers and students and the learning relationship that they nurture. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities for Chase Terrace Technology College, Norton Canes High School and Great Wyrley High School. The high quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the pupils and staff. The basis and rationale that the clients require the successful contractor to operate to at all times, is being able to provide Schools that are fit for purpose and that the contractor 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 August 2017 until 31 July 2020 and will be fixed price in nature, with the contractor invoicing the client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. It should be noted that the successful contractor 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.
