II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Sir Robert Pattinson Academy.
Sir Robert Pattinson Academy is an 11 – 18 comprehensive school where students are valued, happy, challenged and strive to achieve their best. The Academy provides rich learning experiences both in and outside of the classroom resulting in a great education.
Our school is very special for many reasons. We have fantastic staff, who inspire and support students to succeed, and our ethos provides a calm and caring learning environment which you can feel as you walk around the Academy. We place strong emphasis on community values and believe every student is an individual. We believe it is crucial to celebrate everyone’s successes and varied talents. The Academy pupil roll is expected to increase during the term of this contract.
The contract will commence on 1 August 2024 for an initial period of three years, ending on 31 July 2027, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of two years at the discretion of the governing body.
This contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful Supplier guaranteeing both the number of input hours to the contract and the quality of cleaning provision.
We are seeking a suitably experienced Supplier who has current experience of working within the secondary school marketplace, ideally with a strong operational base within the Lincoln area, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when required moving forwards into this contract term.
The scope of the contract covers all cleaning provision within the school buildings. 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 school senior management team on the contract performance.
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, 0 inset days and 20 days periodic cleaning per annum. The Academy has a number of daytime staff who undertake reactive cleaning, lunch supervision and litter picking duties and they shall be used to undertake cleaning on inset days.
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 contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for a credit will be required by the Client. The Client requires that the tendered number of hours are always worked, and the successful Supplier is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave.
The Supplier shall provide a comprehensive cleaning service to the Client to promote a clean, healthy, and safe environment which presents a positive image to all users and visitors.
