## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Leyton Sixth Form College, overseen by The Litmus Partnership Ltd, involves the tender for cleaning services, valued at approximately £150,000 per annum. The contract period spans from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021. This process is currently in the Award stage, having concluded the tender period on August 5, 2016. The College, located in Leyton, London, is focused on achieving best value in cleaning services for their approximately 2,000 students, with an emphasis on innovation in applying current cleaning techniques and quality management reporting.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for cleaning service providers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative cleaning solutions and demonstrate effective management practices. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality cleaning with transparency in operations are particularly well-suited to compete. The anticipated three-year contract allows providers to establish a lasting relationship with the College, potentially leading to further contracts and partnerships in the education sector.

## Notice

The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services at Leyton Sixth Form College. The current cleaning service provision at Leyton Sixth Form College has not been market tested in recent years and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Head Teacher and Senior Committee Members of the College have made a decision to tender the cleaning service. Current roll numbers are circa 2 000 students and the current cleaning operation is run by Apollo. The value of the contract is circa 150 000 GBP per annum and it is intended that the initial contract shall run for a period of 3 years. For the avoidance of doubt TUPE Regulations will apply to this contract. The successful contractor will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month, thus updating the senior management team within the College on contract performance. It is imperative that an open book policy is offered to ensure the College has total clarity on both operational and financial performance. The College is seeking both innovation and the application of current cleaning techniques and up-to-date equipment within the tender submissions and would expect as a result of this to be able to identify 'best value' principles and work in partnership with the chosen contractor going forward.
