We are a thriving and successful comprehensive academy where we place great value on both academic excellence and developing the whole person. We benefit from a dual foundation status. One of these is the diocese of salisbury, meaning that we are a Church of England school. We are proud to have the Lord Fitzmaurice Educational Trust as the other part of our foundation. Our GCSE exam results are excellent, with student attainment well above the national average. We have a strong and successful 6th form, with a very high proportion moving on to university including Oxbridge. Following their visit in June 2017, Ofsted inspectors commented on our commitment to high standards. The contract will commence on 1.8.2019 for an initial period of 3 years, ending on 31.7.2022, with the opportunity to extend for a further period of 2 years at the discretion of the governing body. This is the first time the market has been tested for the cleaning service, having previously been managed in-house by "Team St Laurence" for a number of years. 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. We are seeking a suitably experienced supplier who has current experience of working within the primary or secondary school market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the Wiltshire 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 school buildings. 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 school 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 190 academic days, 5 inset 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.
