The annual contract value is approximately £78,000. The initial contract term will be three years, commencing on 1 December 2026 and concluding on 30 November 2029. The contract will operate on a guaranteed performance basis, with the successful Supplier providing a fixed annual contract price. There will be an option to extend the contract for a further period of up to three years by mutual agreement. St Catherine's CofE (VC) Primary School is located in Kidderminster, Worcestershire. It is a Church of England voluntary controlled primary school for pupils aged 4–11, with approximately 414 pupils currently on roll, a capacity of 420 pupils, and is supported by a dedicated team of teaching and support staff. St. Catherine’s is truly a special school. They nurture every aspect of child development, promoting high academic standards while fostering social and emotional skills-truly embodying their commitment as a ‘Heartsmart’ school. Strong relationships are vital for their success, and they pride themselves on the positive connections they build within they school community. The existing structure comprises all six cleaners working in the evening with cleaning completed 15.15pm - 18.30pm. The current service operates for 39 weeks of standard cleaning per annum, supplemented by 51 hours of periodic cleaning spread across the year. There is currently no daytime cleaning provision. Whilst the monthly contract payment will represent one-twelfth of the annual contract value, a monthly reconciliation process will be undertaken to verify actual hours worked against those budgeted within the contract. Where actual hours delivered are lower than those budgeted, the Supplier will be required to provide a credit to the school. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract value by the annual contracted hours to establish a contractual hourly rate, which will then be multiplied by the shortfall in hours delivered. The school is seeking a suitably experienced Supplier with a proven track record of delivering cleaning services within the primary school sector. Preference will be given to Suppliers with a strong operational presence within the West Midlands, enabling the provision of responsive contract support, operational resilience and service flexibility throughout the contract term.
