Notice Title

Colmers School & Sixth Form College ~ Cleaning Services Tender

Notice Description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide Cleaning services for Colmers School & Sixth Form College.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Colmers School & Sixth Form College is a large secondary school within Birmingham and is situated on the Rubery / Longbridge border. The current pupil roll is currently growing and is anticipated to continue to do so, with a greater number of pupils qualifying for Free School meals. Customer engagement will be fundamental to the continuous improvement in the service provision and within your tender response your methodology to this will need to be detailed along with examples of where this has been undertaken within similar contracts recently. The contract will commence on 1 April 2022 for an initial period of three years, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of two years at the discretion of the governing body. The successful Supplier will invoice the client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis, also guaranteeing both the number of input hours to the contract and the quality of cleaning provision. 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 to reconcile the actual hours worked within the contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for then 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 basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful Supplier to operate to at all times is being able to provide clean schools that are 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 specification and continued innovation of processes throughout the contract term will be pivotal to the success of the new contract. The Supplier shall provide a comprehensive cleaning service to the site so as to promote a clean, healthy and safe environment which presents a positive image to all users and visitors. The general standard of cleaning shall be in accordance with the BICSc Cleaning Standards, with BICSc training given to all cleaning operatives employed within this contract. We are seeking a suitably experienced Supplier who has current experience of working within the secondary school or HE / FE market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the Birmingham area, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and the operational flexibility that is to be delivered in support of the contract as and when required. The scope of the contract covers all cleaning provision within the school buildings at Colmers School & Sixth Form College. 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 Client's senior management team on the contract performance. See SQ Document for further details.
