A room-by-room schedule of floor surfaces, an out-of-scope list and a sanitary provision schedule are issued with the tender documents. The service. Fully managed: routine cleaning over a 40-week service year, periodic, holiday, deep and non-routine cleaning including high-level work, on-site supervision, labour, equipment, materials, quality assurance and reporting. Washroom consumables are to be priced both as a School-supplied and as a Contractor-supplied option. Points tenderers should note.

The estate contains 58 WCs, 56 wash basins and 20 showers. There is no site access at weekends or on bank holidays. The sports hall building is not expected to be available before the new year and is priced separately. Workforce.

One employee is an active member of the Local Government Pension Scheme at an employer contribution rate of 18.4 per cent. Anonymised workforce information is issued with the tender documents, subject to the confidentiality terms of the Invitation to Tender. Approach to award.
