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 Client on contract performance. It is imperative that an open book policy is offered to ensure that each school has total clarity on financial performance.

The Client is seeking both innovation and a proactive service delivery from the successful contractor and would expect as a result of this to be able to identify ‘best value’ and work in partnership with the chosen contractor going forward.

The Client has set 7 key objectives which should be focused upon throughout the tender process. They are:

— All locations must be kept in a clean and fit-for-purpose state throughout the school day.

— The service provision must be based on best value principles.

— Service innovation must be reflected within the service delivery.

— Chemicals must have ‘green’ credentials and all electrical equipment must have minimum electrical usage.

— The successful contractor will assist all the project schools with recycling initiatives.

— The successful contractor must understand the individual requirements of each school.

— The successful contractor must fully understand and implement safeguarding principles whilst carrying out the service provision.

The contract term will be for three years and will be based on a fixed price arrangement during the contract term.

If any improvements to the operating costs are generated then the contractor shall share these on an agreed percentage return.

Please note: Although this project is being advertised as a single lot contract each School, at its own discretion, will have the option of awarding the contract to its preferred bidder.
