Acorn Education Trust is a Multi Academy Trust comprising of seventeen schools in Wiltshire, preparing young people for their world in their time. Since its formation in 2014, Acorn Education Trust has grown to include two nurseries, fourteen primary and three secondary schools, providing education and opportunities for students, from 3 months to 19 years old. We pride ourselves on transforming education locally, with our schools/nurseries being at the heart of their local communities. By working collaboratively we've been able to create an effective and efficient organisation and business model that allows school/ nursery leaders and teachers to focus all their attention on the students. We work together in a supportive network to evaluate, challenge, and improve practice inside and outside of the classroom. We want our students to grow into fully equipped individuals who make meaningful contributions to society and our staff to reach their full professional potential. Acorn Education Trust: is expected to grow, with a number of additional schools becoming part of the Trust during this contract period and the provision of cleaning services at these schools when they have joined the Trust will fall under the scope of this contract. Similarly existing Trust Schools shall have the option to come into scope of this contract as their current cleaning arrangements conclude. The successful Supplier will be expected to provide this service at these additional schools using the same costing model applied to the successful 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. The Clarendon Academy: The Clarendon Academy is a thriving co-educational 11-18 comprehensive academy within the Acorn Education Trust. We pride ourselves on being a centre of excellence and a place where young, enthusiastic children enter in Year 7 and leave us at the end of Year 13 as fully rounded young adults. Clarendon Academy is a lovely school to be part of. We are a kind and supportive school at the heart of the Trowbridge community, and we will take great care of children. We will do this by basing everything we do around our mission statement: Aspire to Excellence. The contract: will commence on 1 August 2023 for an initial period of three years, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of two years at the discretion of the governing body. The successful Supplier will invoice the client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis, also guaranteeing both the number of input hours to the contract and the quality of cleaning provision. 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. The Client's requirement shall be for 190 academic days, 5 inset days and 20 days periodic cleaning per annum. Whilst the monthly charge will represent one-twelfth of the contract cost, a reconciliation will take place to reconcile the actual hours worked within the contract.

The Client requires that the tendered number of hours are worked at all times and the successful Supplier is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave.
