Kingfisher Special School Halcyon Way School Medlock Valley Primary School Littlemoor Primary School Blackshaw Lane Primary & Nursery School Cromwell High School This contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful Supplier also guaranteeing the number of input hours to the contract as well as the quality of cleaning provision. 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 school contract. If the hours worked are less than those budgeted for a credit will be required by the schools. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract cost (fixed cost) by the number of annual input hours to arrive at a contractual cost per hour, this will then be multiplied by the number of hours due to arrive at the fiscal credit.

The scope of the contract covers all the cleaning provision within the schools including all holiday and periodic cleans. 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 senior management team within the Kingfisher Learning Trust on the contract performance. The Trust is expected to grow in the number of schools becoming part of the trust during this contract period, and the provision of cleaning services within these schools when they have joined the MAT will fall under the scope of this contract. The successful contractor will be expected to provide this service within these additional schools using the same costing model, ratios etc. that they applied to their successful tender submission for Kingfisher Learning Trust at the point of tender submission.
