The current service operates for 39 weeks of standard cleaning per annum, supplemented by 51 hours of periodic cleaning spread across the year. There is currently no daytime cleaning provision. Whilst the monthly contract payment will represent one-twelfth of the annual contract value, a monthly reconciliation process will be undertaken to verify actual hours worked against those budgeted within the contract. Where actual hours delivered are lower than those budgeted, the Supplier will be required to provide a credit to the school. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract value by the annual contracted hours to establish a contractual hourly rate, which will then be multiplied by the shortfall in hours delivered. The school is seeking a suitably experienced Supplier with a proven track record of delivering cleaning services within the primary school sector. Preference will be given to Suppliers with a strong operational presence within the West Midlands, enabling the provision of responsive contract support, operational resilience and service flexibility throughout the contract term.
