## Summary

The Ivybridge Academy Trust is seeking tenders for cleaning services across its facilities located in Ivybridge and Yealmpton, England. The contract is set to commence on 1 May 2017, with a primary duration of three years and the potential for a two-year extension upon mutual agreement. Suppliers can submit bids for both schools, which will independently decide on the awarding of contracts. This procurement process follows a selective method and is currently in the award stage, with pre-qualification documents required to be submitted by 30 December 2016.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those with experience in the educational sector. Companies with a robust operational presence in the South West of England may benefit from the additional flexibility and support required for the contract's ongoing execution. Smaller enterprises and those with a proven track record in school or higher education cleaning services are especially encouraged to apply, as the contracting authority is keen on working with suitably qualified suppliers who can meet the specific needs of the academies.

## Notice

The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services to the Ivybridge Academy Trust, at the following locations: - Ivybridge Community College; - Yealmpton Primary School.

Suppliers will have the option to submit bids for both schools, but each school will have the option to decide who they will appoint. The Multi Academy Trust is seeking a suitably experienced contractor who has current experience of working within the school or HE/FE college market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the South West of England, 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.
