## About this tender

The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Guilsborough Multi Academy Trust.

Guilsborough Academy is a secondary school situated in the rural village of Guilsborough on the Northamptonshire / Leicestershire border. The school converted to academy status in 2011 and formed a Multi Academy Trust with Naseby Church of England Primary Academy in 2014. We believe that learning should be enjoyable and challenging. This belief, combined with the excellent teaching skills and commitment of our staff and the enthusiasm and hard work of our students, lies at the heart of our success.

The tender project is seeking to appoint a Supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities for the school. The high quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the pupils and staff.

The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful Supplier to operate to at all times, is being able to provide a school that is fit for purpose and that the Supplier is proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all specifications are achieved and that the frequency of cleans is as detailed within the Tender Specification.

The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration from 1.9.2017 until 31.8.2020 and will be fixed price in nature, with the Supplier invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis.

At present the cleaning staff structure is:

- 1 cleaning supervisor;
- 1 assistant supervisor;
- 16 cleaning operatives (includes 1 driver and 1 cleaner at the Primary school).

The current incumbent is BCS Ltd. None of the incumbent members of cleaning staff are members of the LGPS.

The annual value of the current contract is:

Guilsborough: 110 658 GBP + VAT.

Naseby: 5 097.96 GBP + VAT (1 x cleaning operative here).
