Notice Information

Notice Title

North Durham Academy and Consett Academy - Grounds Maintenance Services

Notice Description

The successful tenderer will be required to provide grounds maintenance services at North Durham Academy and Consett Academy. The contract being tendered is for just under three years, from 7 September 2015 concluding on 31 July 2018, with an option for a further extension period at the end of the contract term. This tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor, whose initiative and innovation, will be welcomed for the provision of service within the recently built facilities for North Durham Academy and the brand new facilities for Consett Academy, which will be completed in September 2015. The contract will be fixed price in nature, with the contractor invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. Whilst the monthly charge will represent one-twelfth of the contract cost, reconciliation will take place annually to reconcile the achievement of input hours and delivery of the specification of the contract. The Client requires that the tendered specification is undertaken at all times and the successful contractor is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned absence of the staff dedicated to the contract. The value of the current contract is in the region of PS65,000, however, this is due to the current Consett Academy campus being situated on two sites. It is anticipated that the value of the new Consett Academy contract will be in the region of the current North Durham Academy contract, which is circa PS18,000, giving a total contract value of circa PS36,000. This cost currently includes: - 1. Maintenance of Grassed Areas 2. Sports Pitch Marking and Maintenance 3. Tarmac Area Markings 4. Maintenance of Shrub and Plant Borders 5. Hedge Maintenance 6. Weed Control 7. Fence Lines 8. Drainage Ditches It is the objective of this tender for the successful contractor to have in place a management support structure, site supervision and training plan that ensures that all Client locations are kept to standard at all times and that the required grounds maintenance specification is achieved consistently. It should be noted that the successful contractor will be expected to provide innovation, proven maintenance methods and appropriate equipment to the contract, thus ensuring that the highest levels of service are maintained in all areas at all times.
