Shipston High School is seeking a supplier for fully managed cleaning services covering approximately 4,315 m² of in-scope floor area across three blocks, plus a separately priced 1,175 m² sports hall delivered under the 2025-26 expansion. Services required include routine cleaning over a 40-week service year, periodic, holiday, deep and non-routine cleaning including high-level work, on-site supervision, labour, equipment, materials, quality assurance and reporting. Washroom consumables must be priced both as School-supplied and Contractor-supplied options. Timber and sprung timber floors total 616.6 m² (14.3% of the in-scope area) across five areas including a sports floor and a floor in a food-consumption area; the estate contains 58 WCs, 56 wash basins and 20 showers. There is no site access at weekends or on bank holidays. A TUPE service provision change is anticipated involving eight employees across two transferors (seven employed by the outgoing contractor and one employed directly by the School), with one employee an active member of the Local Government Pension Scheme at an employer contribution rate of 18.4%. Anonymised workforce information, a room-by-room schedule of floor surfaces, an out-of-scope list and a sanitary provision schedule are issued with the tender documents subject to the Invitation to Tender confidentiality terms. The School is seeking a properly resourced service that is correctly priced and will evaluate bids on quality, staffing model, supervision and mobilisation alongside price.
