City of Bristol College is one of the largest further and higher education colleges in the UK. We cater for learners of all ages and backgrounds, including 16 to 18-year-olds, adult learners, apprentices, higher education students and international students. The contract will commence on 1.8.2020 for an initial period of 3 years, ending on 31.7.2023, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of 2 years at the discretion of the governing body. This contract will be fixed price in nature with the successful supplier guaranteeing both the number of input hours to the contract and the quality of cleaning provision. Investment for equipment shall be fully depreciated over the initial 3-year term of the contract. We are seeking a suitably experienced supplier who has current experience of working within the higher or further education sector, ideally with a strong operational base within the Bristol or South West 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. The scope of the contract covers all cleaning provision within the College campuses. 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 College senior management team on the contract performance. Any variations to the contract that are requested by the client should be invoiced at the agreed rate and should be calculated on an hourly rate per employee needed to carry out the variation to the satisfaction of the contract supervising officer. The client's requirement shall be for 205 academic days and 20 days periodic cleaning per annum. 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 Client. The client requires that the tendered amount of hours are worked at all times and the successful supplier is expected to have a system in place to cover for both planned and unplanned leave.
