## Summary

The Litmus Partnership Ltd is seeking proposals for a three-year contract to provide cleaning services at Shenfield High School, located in Shenfield, England. The tender, classified under school cleaning services, has a total value of £456,000 and is currently in the Award stage. The contract period is set to commence on 22 October 2018 and will conclude on 31 August 2021. Suppliers were required to submit their Selection Questionnaire by 15 June 2018, and the successful bidder will be invoiced monthly based on a fixed price model.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the requirement for cost-effective and efficient cleaning services for a school with approximately 1,200 students, companies that can demonstrate proactive contract management and a commitment to quality service delivery will be well-positioned to compete. Businesses that are familiar with educational environments and can meet the specific needs of the client are likely to find this tender appealing.

## Notice

The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Shenfield High School. Client objectives: 1. The Client is looking for a fixed price contract cost; 2. The Client is now seeking proposals to maintain and improve the cleaning services while remaining cost effective and affective for the entire school community. There are approximately 1 200 students present on site. The contract being tendered is for 36 months in duration from the commencement of half term in October 2018 until August 2021. 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 require that the tendered amount of hours are worked at all times. The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful Supplier to operate to at all times is being able to provide a clean school that is fit for purpose and that the Supplier is proactive in the management of the contract.
