II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The current cleaning service provision at the College has not been market tested in recent years and to ensure Best Value principles are applied the Client has made a decision to tender the cleaning service.

The current cleaning operation is run by Appolo Cleaning services.

The annual value of the current contracts is £163k and it is intended that the initial contract shall run for a period of 3 years, with the ability to extend by a further two years with agreement with both parties.

For the avoidance of doubt TUPE Regulations will apply to this contract.

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 senior management team within the school on contract performance. It is imperative that an open book policy is offered to ensure the Client has total clarity on both operational and financial performance.

The Client is seeking both innovation and the application of current cleaning techniques and up-to-date equipment within the tender submissions and would expect as a result of this to be able to identify ‘best value’ principles and work in partnership with the chosen Supplier going forward.
