## Summary

The Weston College Group is currently seeking tenders for the provision of Cleaning and Security Services across its campuses located in the South West of England. This contract is intended to span three years, from 1st August 2017 to 31st July 2020, with an opportunity for extension and has a total value of £1.2 million. This selective procurement method requires submissions to address both cleaning and security service requirements, with the closing date for tender submissions set for 1st July 2016, thereby allowing potential contractors adequate time for preparation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in facilities management, particularly those experienced in providing cleaning and security services in educational environments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the scope of work necessitates a proactive approach to service delivery, which could lead to the establishment of ongoing relationships with the Weston College Group. Contractors who can demonstrate innovation and high-quality service standards will be particularly well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract.

## Notice

The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning and security services to the whole of the Weston College Group. The Weston College Group is a recently established Multi Academy Trust (MAT) which includes currently the following properties where the successful contractor will be required to deliver a service and meet the requirements of the specification from the contract commencement. The various campuses within Weston College comprise of: -- Knightstone Road Campus; -- University Campus; -- South West Skills Campus; -- Law and Professional Services Academy; -- Weston Bay Hotel; -- Engineering; -- Hans Price is the Conference and Events Centre; -- Winter Gardens. Academies also within the Weston College Group currently include: -- North Somerset Enterprise Technology College; -- St Katherine's School; -- Bristol Futures Academy. The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1.8.2017 until 31.7.2020, with the option to extend for a further term and will be fixed price in nature, with the Contractor invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. However, please note that the contract at St Katherine's School will commence on 1.1.2017 and be for 3 years and 7 months until 31.7.2020. The provision of security services is limited to a small number of campuses within the Weston College Group and will include a manned presence at various times of the day as detailed within the tender specification. It is believed there will be few campuses within the Weston College Group that require a security service moving into this contract period and the provision for these services will be included within the main specification for cleaning services. Tender submissions will only be considered for the supply of both services and this will not be split into the component parts of cleaning and security. The successful contractor must hold all the relevant statutory requirements at the point of tender submission to enable them to operate a security provision within the Weston College Group. The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful contractor to operate to at all times, is being able to provide an environment that is fit for purpose and that the Contractor is proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all specifications are achieved on all sites and that the frequency of service delivered is as detailed within the tender specification. The tender project is seeking to appoint a Contractor whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of services within the facilities for the Group. The high-quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for students, staff and visitors.
