Description
This tender opportunity has been issued by Respect Collaboration Trust (the Trust). The proposed contract will be for the provision of outsourced cleaning services to the Trust. The Specification sets out the Trust-wide requirements for the provision of cleaning services across multiple school sites. The objective is to secure a consistent, compliant, and well-supervised cleaning service that supports safe and effective school operations. The Trust operates across an alternative provision estate rather than a mainstream school setting. Bidders must recognise that site activity, room use, pupil attendance, and daily operational demands may vary across the Trust and may require a more responsive and adaptable cleaning service than would typically apply in a conventional school environment.
