The contract will be let for a period of three years initially, with an option to extend for a further two years at the discretion of the Trust. The planned start date is 1st April 2020. Tenders will be dispatched in December 2019 with a view to awarding the contract by the middle of February 2020.

The initial range of sites to be included within the proposed contract are as follows:-
• The King Alfred School - an Academy, Burnham Rd, Highbridge TA9 3EE
• Priory Community School- an Academy, Queensway, Weston-super-Mare BS22 6BP
