The contract will commence on 1 June 2020 for an initial period of 3 years, with the opportunity to extend by up to a further 2 years at the discretion of the governors. This contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful supplier also guaranteeing both the number of input hours to the contract and the quality of cleaning provision. We are seeking a suitably experienced supplier who has current experience of working within the secondary school or HE/FE market place, with a strong operational base within the Kidderminster area, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when required moving forwards into this contract term. It is anticipated the successful supplier shall introduce a biometric or equally robust and auditable sign-in system, to validate and report on staff hours worked. 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 client’s senior management team on the contract performance. The projected cost of cleaning for the current year is circa GBP 70 000, including external window cleaning twice a year and a jet wash of the tennis courts three times per year. Please note that the successful supplier will pay a proportion of the procurement consultancy fee on award of this contract, which will be to the value of GBP 3 000.00 plus VAT. This fee will be invoiced immediately after the 10-day standstill period. To ensure transparency, the successful supplier will clearly show within the management fee a breakdown of this fee, over the initial 3-year length of the contract. The total fee will be paid by the successful supplier, in full to The Litmus Partnership, by no later than Friday 3 April 2020.
