The contract will commence on 1 September 2023 for a period of three years, with the potential for an extension of up to a further three years on a 1 + 1 + 1 basis. This contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful Supplier also guaranteeing the number of input hours to the contract as well as the quality of cleaning provision. 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 school contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for a credit will be required by the schools. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract cost (fixed cost) by the number of annual input hours to arrive at a contractual cost per hour, this will then be multiplied by the number of hours due to arrive at the fiscal credit. We are seeking a suitably experienced Supplier who has current experience of working within the education sector, ideally with a strong operational base within the Staffordshire Area, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when needed during the contract term. A robust level of management support must be provided by the successful contractor to ensure that the detailed specification is delivered within the contract on a consistent basis within the contract period. The scope of the contract covers all of the cleaning provision within the school's including all holiday and periodic cleans. The successful Supplier 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 Key Educational Trust on the contract performance. The current contract is provided by two separate contractors and the cost of cleaning for this contractual year is expected to be in the region of PS65,000.00 per annum. The Key Educational Trust is expected to grow in the number of schools becoming part of the trust during this contract period, and the provision of catering services within these schools when they have joined the MAT will fall under the scope of this contract. The successful contractor will be expected to provide this service within these additional schools using the same costing model, ratios etc. that they applied to their successful tender submission for The Key Educational Trust 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 Trust. Please note: Further schools may be added to the contract during the tender process and during the life of the contract as detailed above. See SQ document for further details.
