Notice Title

Ridgewood School - Tender for Cleaning Services

Notice Description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Ridgewood School. Ridgewood School (The Academy @ Ridgewood Trust) is an academy in Scawsby, Doncaster (DN5 7UB). The various blocks within which lessons are taught are named for famous creators, inventors or scientists. The creators are as follows: MacAdam, Curie, Newton, Paxton, Telford, Da Vinci, Brunel, Arkwright, Hargreaves and Faraday, the latter of which is predominantly for Post 16 students. We want every student who leaves Ridgewood School to aspire to achieve beyond what they thought they could do when they first started with us. Our core values emphasise high standards, pride in everything we do, and working together as a school community to achieve the best, both inside and beyond the classroom. The school's most recent Ofsted report was March 2019. The contract will commence on 1.4.2020 for an initial period of three years, ending on 31.3.2023, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of two years at the discretion of the governing body. This contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful Supplier guaranteeing both the number of input hours to the contract and the quality of cleaning provision. We are seeking a suitably experienced Supplier who has current experience of working within the secondary school market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the Doncaster area, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when required moving forwards into this contract term. The scope of the contract covers all cleaning provision within the school buildings. The successful Supplier will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month, thus updating the school senior management team on the contract performance. 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. The Client's requirement shall be for 190 academic days, 5 inset days and 20 days periodic cleaning per annum. 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 and the successful Supplier is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave. The Supplier shall provide a comprehensive cleaning service to the Client so as to promote a clean, healthy and safe environment which presents a positive image to all users and visitors.
