The provision of security services is limited to a small number of campuses within the Weston College Group and will include a manned presence at various times of the day as detailed within the tender specification. It is believed there will be few campuses within the Weston College Group that require a security service moving into this contract period and the provision for these services will be included within the main specification for cleaning services. This service is required at the following campuses Knightstone Road, University Campus and the South West Skills Campus Tender submissions will only be considered for the supply of both services and this will not be split into the component parts of cleaning and security. The successful contractor must hold all the relevant statutory requirements at the point of tender submission to enable them to operate a security provision within the Weston College Group. 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 college. 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 college requires that the tendered number of hours are worked at all times and the successful contractor is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave. The basis and rationale that the Client requires is for the successful contractor to operate to at all times is being able to provide campuses that are fit for purpose and that the Contractor is proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all output specifications are achieved and that the required frequency of cleans is delivered. It should be noted that the successful contractor 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.
