Description
The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Portico Academy Trust at the following schools:
- Friars Primary School,

- Hamstel Infant School,
- Hamstel Junior School,
- Porters Grange Primary School.
The total value of the current cleaning provision across the Trust is 230 927,67 GBP + VAT.
Portico Academy Trust
Portico Academy Trust was established in April 2016 and presently consists of Friars Primary School and Nursery, West Leigh Junior School, Hamstel Infant School and Nursery, Hamstel Junior School and Porters Grange Primary School and Nursery (a sponsored academy).
The tender project is seeking to appoint a Supplier whose initiative and innovation will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities for each school in the Trust. The high quality service levels proposed, should maintain excellent standards throughout, resulting in a pleasant environment for both the pupils and staff at all schools.
The basis and rationale that the Client requires the successful Supplier to operate to at all times, is being able to provide schools that are fit for purpose and that the Supplier is proactive in the management of the contract, thus ensuring that all specifications are achieved and that the frequency of cleans is as detailed within the tender specification.
The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 2019 until 2022 and will be fixed price in nature, with the Supplier invoicing the Client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis.
It should be noted that the successful Supplier will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BICSc standards being achieved, as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and also ensuring that the productivity of the cleaning operatives is enhanced moving forward into the new contract term.
Please note that this is a growing Trust. Should any schools join this Trust over the course of the term of this contract they may, at the decision of the Trust, be included into this contract. Any new schools that join may be in a wider geographical area than Southend.
The Trust is ideally looking for one Supplier to service all schools across the Trust, but all schools reserve the right to make their own appointment decision.
