Notice Title
Stratford School Academy Cleaning Tender
Notice Description
Stratford School Academy is a co-educational Secondary Academy located in the London Borough of Newham. The Academy serves up to 1500 students aged 11 to 16 and employs approximately 165 teaching and support staff across its two sites. The current contract is with Purgo Supply Services and is part of an over-arching FM contract. The Academy is tendering its cleaning services for both sites and they are seeking a professional cleaning contractor to deliver an excellent level of service throughout the year. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2026, initially spanning three years with an option for both parties to extend the contract for a further two years, (3+1+1) beyond this date by mutual agreement. Any contract extension will be subject to the Academy's satisfaction and agreement on budgets and service levels. Some of the cleaning staff may have LGPS pension schemes and either having ABS in a London Borough, or the ability to achieve ABS status, will be essential for bidders. The estimated turnover for the three-year contract is in the region of PS700,000. The contract is focused on consistently high levels of cleaning service and pro-active management. Regular termly and annual reviews throughout the contract duration are mandatory, and a break clause should be included to support both parties in case the relationship does not thrive. The School expects high standards of support and a strong working relationship with the selected bidder. The procurement process follows a two stage 'Competitive Flexible' approach, beginning with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage after shortlisting.
