Lot Information

Lot 1

The Trust is seeking a suitably experienced contractor who has current experience of working with the education sector, within suitable establishments to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of contracts of a similar size and nature. Ideally the successful contractor will have a strong operational base within the East Midlands, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when needed moving forwards into this contract term. The scope of the contract covers term time daily cleaning within the schools, plus a number of weeks for holiday and periodic cleaning during non-term time to provide a deeper clean of the Schools and their buildings to ensure they are suitably prepared for the beginning of each academic term. Initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the Client's facilities. The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the pupils and staff. The requirement of the Schools and Trust is that the successful contractor provides a clean and functioning premises, as per the specification, that is fit for purpose at all times through delivering the guaranteed level of input hours. As part of that requirement the successful contractor is to be proactive in the management of the contract with open lines of communication. That communication must include frequent and proactively provided management information. TUPE is expected to apply and it is anticipated that some employees may be members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) and therefore the successful contractor would be expected to gain Admitted Body Status (ABS) in order to continue contributing to the scheme. A robust level of management support must be provided by the successful contractor to ensure that the detailed specification is delivered within the contract on a consistent basis within the contract period. The Contractor may be asked to undertake works not included in this Specification. Aside from the cost of materials, where possible additional works should be delivered within the hours of the existing cleaning operatives or, where necessary, provided by additional staff paid for on an agreed hourly basis or by a quoted fixed price. 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 senior management team the Spencer Academies Trust on the contract performance. The contract will commence on 01 September 2023 for an initial contract period of three years, with the option to extend the contract for a further three 12-month periods. This extension will be granted by mutual consent and on the same terms and conditions as the original contract. The contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful Supplier also guaranteeing the number of input hours to the contract as well as the quality of cleaning provision. Financial constraints affecting all schools mean that a robust and cost-effective solution must be provided. The Trust is expected to grow in the number of Academies becoming part of the Trust during this contract period, and the provision of cleaning services within these Academies when they have joined the Trust may fall under the scope of this contract. The successful Supplier will be expected to provide this service within these Academies using the same costing model, ratios etc that they applied to their successful tender submission for the Trust at the point of tender submission.
