The tender is currently in the Award stage, with the contract set to commence from 1 April 2017 and lasting until 31 March 2020, with a total contract value of approximately £750,000 plus VAT. This procurement follows a selective procurement method defined as a restricted procedure, and the closing date for the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire was 9 September 2016. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in cleaning services, particularly those capable of delivering innovative and high-quality service levels. Companies that actively pursue contracts within the educational sector, especially those with experience in cleaning services for school environments, would find themselves well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, the potential for the Multi Academy Trust to expand during the contract period may offer further growth opportunities for successful bidders, as they could be engaged to provide services to newly joined schools under the same terms and conditions. ## Notice The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services within the Lighthouse Schools Partnership. The Lighthouse Schools Partnership is a recently established Multi Academy Trust (MAT) which includes currently the following schools where the successful contractor will be required to deliver a service and meet the requirements of the specification from the contract commencement. The Schools which will be part of this tender and subsequent contract are: -- Gordano School; -- High Down Schools (Junior and Infant School); -- St Peters C of E Primary School; -- Portishead Primary School. The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.4.2017 until 31.3.2020, with the option to extend for a further term and will be fixed price in nature, with the Contractor invoicing the Client for 1-12th of the annual cost on a monthly basis. 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 within all schools 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. The high quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for students, staff and visitors. It should be noted that the successful contractor will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BICSc standards being achieved, as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and also ensuring that the productivity of the cleaning operatives is enhanced moving forward into the new contract term. The Multi Academy Trust is expected to grow in the number of schools becoming part of the trust during this contract period, and the provision of cleaning services within these schools when they have joined the MAT may fall under the scope of this contract. The successful contractor will be expected to provide this service within these schools using the same costing model, ratios, etc. that they applied to their successful tender submission for the Lighthouse Schools Partnership at the point of tender submission. The duration of contract for these schools will not be increased and they will join the contract for the remaining contract period that exists at the point of entry into the MAT. The current annual value of the contract is approximately 250 000 GBP plus VAT. Please note: Further properties may be added to the contract during the tender process and during the life of the contract as detailed.
