It should be noted that the successful supplier will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BICSc standards being achieved, as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and also ensuring that the productivity of the cleaning operatives is enhanced moving forward into the new contract term. Please note that this is a growing Trust. Should any schools join this Trust over the course of the term of this contract they may, at the decision of the Trust, be included into this contract. Any new schools that join may be in a wider geographical area than Southend.
