The Stourport High School and VIth Form College ~ Tender for Cleaning Services
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
This sits in the upper-middle of the Environment & Waste band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 11,894 valued Environment & Waste tenders in our corpus.
The successful tenderer will be required to provide cleaning services at The Stourport High School and VIth Form College.
The school prides itself on providing opportunities for young people to excel both inside and outside school, ensuring that their students are the best they can be each and every day.

The current student roll number is circa 1200 with 200 teaching and support staff.
Current contract value is circa 95 000 GBP per annum.
The cleaning services provision at the school has not been market tested in recent years and to ensure Best value principles are applied the Principal, Sponsors and School governors have made a decision to tender the cleaning service provision.
The cleaning staff are currently employed by the Client.
For the avoidance of doubt the sports facilities are cleaning by an external contractor and this will be included within the new tender specification.
TUPE Regulations, including pension rights where applicable, will apply to this contract.

The contract being tendered is for 3 years in duration with the possibility of extending for a further two years depending on service deliverability.

The contract is fixed price with the supplier invoicing the client for one-twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis.
