The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration commencing 1.8.2020. The contract is fixed price with the supplier invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. Any variations to the contract that are requested by the Client should be invoiced at the agreed rate and should be calculated on an hourly rate per employee needed to carry out the variation to the satisfaction of the contract supervising officer. Whilst the monthly charge will represent one-twelfth of the contract cost, a reconciliation will take place monthly to reconcile the actual hours worked within the contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for a credit will be required by the Client. The Client requires that the tendered amount of hours are worked at all times and the successful Supplier will be expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave. The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful supplier to operate to at all times is being able to provide clean premises 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.
