## Summary

The Brentwood Academies Trust, located in Brentwood, England, is initiating a tender for cleaning services covering its two academies, Larchwood Primary School and Chase High School. The tender, titled "Brentwood Academies Trust ~ Tender for Cleaning Services," is currently in the Award stage, with the contract duration set for three years starting from 1 September 2017. An estimated contract value of £1,500,000 is anticipated under a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. Interested parties must submit their Selection Questionnaires by the deadline of 17 March 2017 at 12:00.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for cleaning service providers, particularly those that can demonstrate innovation and high service standards. As the Brentwood Academies Trust expands, potential contractors with the capacity to manage cleaning across multiple school facilities would be especially well-suited for this contract. Companies that can bring in new cleaning methods and equipment to enhance productivity and maintain cleanliness to the required BICSc standards will have a competitive advantage in this procurement process.

## Notice

Originally established as a single Academy Trust in July 2011, St Martin's School became the Brentwood Academies Trust (the Client) in April 2014. The Brentwood Academies Trust sponsors 2 academies, Larchwood Primary School which became part of the Trust in July 2014 and Chase High School which joined the trust in April 2015. The Trust has around 450 staff and over 3 000 pupils. The Brentwood Academies Trust is a small but growing Trust and we would anticipate additional schools joining the contract over time. The tender project is seeking to appoint a contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities for each school within the Trust. The high quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the students, staff, hirers, visitors and other organisations based on-site. The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful contractor to operate to at all times, is being able to provide schools that are fit for purpose and that the Contractor 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. Economies of scale enjoyed by the contractor via this group contract would be welcomed. The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1.9.2017 and will be fixed price in nature, with the Contractor invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. It should be noted that the successful contractor will be expected to bring to 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. Further information is available in the SQ Document. Additional information: Interest in the selection process should be expressed via email only to pqq@litmuspartnership.co.uk clearly stating within this email which contract / notice you are referring to. Please also provide, as a minimum, a contact name, full company postal address and telephone number.
