Description
The successful supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Robert May's School.
Robert May's School is an oversubscribed secondary academy in Odiham, Hampshire. The school is proud of its heritage, and has been serving the local community since 1694, when Robert May, a local Mercer, bequeathed the sum of 600 GBP of Lawful English Money to be paid for the maintenance of a Free-School in the Town of Odiham.
There is a strong ethos of mutual respect and appreciation of hard work, characterised by an unfailing belief that all students can succeed in their chosen paths and are capable of achieving excellence every day in whatever they do. Examination results are always high, well above national averages. Most Year 11 students go on to well-known sixth-form colleges, and from there to distinguish themselves in universities and colleges.
The school has 1229 students currently on roll and 170 teaching and support staff. Due to demographic pressures from local residential growth, the academy is increasing its Admission numbers from Sept 2019 over a period of 4 years which will give projected student numbers of 1350 by 2023 thereby increasing capacity for 1 additional form of entry.
To accommodate the planned increase in student numbers, a new school building will require cleaning from September 2018. This building will include a relocated reception and library, as well as 4 new classrooms and student toilets. The existing Library and other areas adjacent to the Dining Hall are scheduled for redevelopment enabling a larger Dining Hall and 2 additional science classrooms, to be completed by mid October 2018.
The tender project is seeking to appoint a supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of service within the existing facilities for the 1229 students on roll and 170 teaching and support staff, with a focus on exciting new food concepts to satisfy a wide range of students tastes and dietary requirements. The Client would wish the successful supplier to review the current range of services offered and make recommendations accordingly.
The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 23.7.2018 to July 2021, with an option by the Client to extend to July 2023. The contract will operate as a guaranteed performance contract, with the successful supplier offering the client a guaranteed cost per annum for the provision of cleaning services.
The academic year is based on a calendar of 195 days. 4 days are to be used for staff professional development which means that school will be open to receive students for the legal minimum of 191 days.
Further information is provided in the SQ Document.
