School cleaning services

Tender description

The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services at Leyton Sixth Form College. The current cleaning service provision at Leyton Sixth Form College has not been market tested in recent years and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Head Teacher and Senior Committee Members of the College have made a decision to tender the cleaning service. Current roll numbers are circa 2 000 students and the current cleaning operation is run by Apollo. The value of the contract is circa 150 000 GBP per annum and it is intended that the initial contract shall run for a period of 3 years. For the avoidance of doubt TUPE Regulations will apply to this contract. 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 senior management team within the College on contract performance. It is imperative that an open book policy is offered to ensure the College has total clarity on both operational and financial performance. The College is seeking both innovation and the application of current cleaning techniques and up-to-date equipment within the tender submissions and would expect as a result of this to be able to identify ‘best value’ principles and work in partnership with the chosen contractor going forward.
