In plain English
Cotham School is looking for a cleaning contractor to clean three sites (main school, sixth form centre, and playing fields) across Bristol. The contract runs for 3 years from August 2027 to July 2030, with optional 1-year extensions, and is fixed price with monthly invoicing.
What the buyer wants
• Provide regular cleaning services across three specified locations to keep the school 'fit for purpose' • Work a set number of contracted hours every month, with a system in place to cover staff absence (planned and unplanned leave) • Invoice monthly at one-twelfth of the annual fixed price, with monthly reconciliation of actual hours worked against budgeted hours
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The contract requires you to guarantee a fixed number of hours worked every month with your own staff cover for absences: if you cannot reliably deploy trained staff across three separate sites in Bristol or cannot absorb the cost of unplanned leave, this contract will be difficult to manage profitably.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
