The contract period is set from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2023, with a provision for a possible extension. Prospective bidders should note that the closing date for submitting the Selection Questionnaire was 23 June 2017, indicating the competitive nature and urgency of the procurement process. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those that can demonstrate innovation and deliver high standards in service quality. Companies that are well-suited to compete include small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide bespoke cleaning solutions, introduce new technologies, and implement efficient cleaning methods, especially those adhering to British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) standards. The successful supplier will be expected to manage the contract proactively while maintaining an appealing environment for both students and staff. ## Notice Hodge Hill Girls' School is a specialist science, maths and computing Secondary School, found in the heart of the Hodge Hill Community and is a small School with strong community values, who know and care for every pupil as an individual. Hodge Hill Girls' School embrace their cultural diversity and celebrate each pupil as a member of the School family. The School's ethos encourages mutual respect and support to enable every pupil to make the greatest personal, social and academic progress during their time at School, preparing them for successful careers and fulfilling lives. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities for Hodge Hill Girls' School. The high quality service levels proposed should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the students and staff. The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful Supplier to operate to at all times, is being able to provide an environment that is 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 tender specification. The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1.1.2018 until 31.12.2020, with the option to extend the contract term for a further period and will be fixed price in nature, with the Supplier invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. It should be noted that the successful Supplier 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. At present 10 cleaning operatives are employed to work 133 hours in total, Monday to Friday. The value of the current cleaning contract is circa 97 000 GBP + VAT. It is proposed that additional contracts are brought into the cleaning contract, including washroom services circa PS2,400.00, washroom supplies circa 4 000 GBP and window cleaning twice per annum circa 1 500 GBP. Whilst the Client prioritises value for money as a key objective of the competitive tender process, the governing body is not obliged to accept the lowest price.
