The tender project is seeking to appoint a Supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services at the School. 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.

It should be noted that the successful Supplier will be expected to bring to the cleaning element of 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 School's objectives: *To build upon the standard of cleaning services within the school and role model attention to detail. *To receive a service that complies with the service standards and to acknowledge the need to step up and demonstrate flexibility in the face of a Public Health pandemic (for example). *To receive consistently high-quality cleaning standards, via a motivated and fully staffed workforce. *To generate an improved learning environment for all students, within the School. *To receive proactive management support for the cleaning team, in order to attract and retain a full complement of motivated staff. *To hold regular review meetings with the successful Supplier, with effective and prompt lines of communication. *To achieve overall value for money.
