This selective procurement, under a restricted procedure above the threshold, seeks a contractor for a three-year contract from April 2020 to April 2023, covering cleaning across three secondary schools initially, with potential expansion to include two special needs schools and any additional schools joining the Trust. The deadline for submitting the Selection Questionnaire is set for 15th November 2019, by 12:00. Interested suppliers are required to submit their documentation to The Litmus Partnership Ltd, the contracting authority overseeing this process, with an expected total contract value of £888,675 for various cleaning services required over the contract period. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the cleaning services sector, particularly those capable of providing innovative and comprehensive cleaning solutions tailored for educational environments. Companies that focus on value for money, operational excellence, and can demonstrate a commitment to enhancing the quality of learning facilities will be well-positioned to compete. Suppliers should be prepared to showcase their previous experience with similar contracts, along with their ability to meet the specific needs of WMAT while adhering to the principles and values set forth by the Trust. ## Notice The successful supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT). WMAT is a group of schools based in the Farnham/Haslemere area of Surrey comprising 3 secondary schools and 2 special needs schools: This tender is seeking to appoint a supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of providing cleaning services within the 3 secondary schools - Weydon School, Farnham Heath End School and Woolmer Hill School in the first instance. As the 2 special needs schools cleaning contracts come to renewal points, those schools may also be added to the MAT cleaning contract, as may any other schools which join the MAT during the period of this contract. WMAT has put significant investment into creating and maintaining world class facilities within our schools. Weydon has benefited from extensive refurbishment and enjoys an array of excellent learning environments, classrooms and facilities. More recently, Farnham Heath End School has opened a brand new 8 classroom facility with a large library and sports hall. A significant part of the existing estate at Farnham Heath End School was also refurbished to create excellent learning facilities. As a Trust, we now wish to develop a group-wide approach to our procurement to harness the benefits of being a locally based group of schools. We are looking to appoint a contractor who will help us to both maintain and improve on the cleaning across our secondary schools, working with us innovatively to harness the benefits of regular and periodic cleaning to ensure excellence in our cleaning. The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from April 2020 to April 2023 and will operate as a fixed price contract. The academic year is based on a calendar of 195 days. Five days are to be used for staff professional development which means that School will be open to receive students for the legal minimum of 190 days. The contract offered covers the scope for the provision of all cleaning services within the schools, which currently includes daily cleaning, periodic/holiday cleaning, internal and external window cleaning options. Whilst the MAT prioritises value for money as a key objective of the competitive tender process, the governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price. The value of the current annual contract in 2018/19 was: - Weydon School 145 095 GBP, - Woolmer Hill School 64 347 GBP, - Farnham Heath End School 86 683 GBP.
