Description
The Thinking Schools Academy Trust is inviting suitably qualified and experienced organisations to tender for the cleaning contracts at all but one of its current schools, with potential for that and other schools to be included into the contract, during the term, inclusive of any extensions. Cleaning is generally over 39 weeks per year during term time with an additional 20 days outside of term time. There are exceptions and some schools have cleaning services over 51 weeks of the year (Christmas week is excluded), so that specific areas, such as offices and letting areas, are consistently cleaned outside of term time. There are three Lots, split geographically (South East, South Central and South West) and tenderers may bid for one or more Lots, up to and including all three. The Contracts are for 3 years, with potential for 2 x 12-month extensions, subject to meeting the performance criteria, as laid down in the contract documents. A contract will be awarded for each Lot.
