St Augustine Academy ~ Cleaning Tender

Description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for the St Augustine Academy. The current contract value is equivalent to £200k per annum. St Augustine Academy is a large state school of currently 699 secondary school pupils, and is part of the Woodard Academies Trust. The Trust has an impressive heritage as part of the Woodard family of schools, created by founder Nathaniel Woodard in 1848 with the aim of providing an education based on Christian values and a belief in nurturing and enriching each individual child. This is an exciting time for the Trust who have recently launched an ambitious new five-year strategy to continue to drive up standards, nurture and educate our children into successful adults, develop, and recruit the best teachers, work collaboratively in our local area, and grow our Trust in geographical clusters. The school has a mixture of buildings some of which are very modern and some legacy buildings across the campus – some areas of which are quite challenging to clean. The school currently has an in-house cleaning team and has additional coverage of site team operators (not transferring) who carry out a mixture of reactive and prescribed tasks. Current deployment of cleaners has an early shift and a post school shift for the main cleaning effort which makes the service difficult to supervise. Over time, the school stakeholders can see the potential benefit in moving towards post school cleaning supported by effective school day support – using this methodology, it should be easier to audit and manage output. The ITT process will look to suppliers to identify the optimal use of current hours and exacting evening cleaning standards and supervision. Currently some staff are working split shifts pre and post school, which is not necessarily seen by school stakeholders as being fully efficient. Please see PSQ document for more information.
