Decision details

To seek approval to appoint a number of suppliers to the Schools Cleaning Contracts, to ensure continuity of school cleaning services to a maximum of 133 schools

That a contract, in twelve separate ‘lots’ each covering a distinct geographical area, be awarded to the suppliers as described in the submitted confidential annex

(item 12). 

Reasons for Decisions

The existing contracts for Schools Cleaning Services will expire on 31 July 2013. A full tender process, in compliance with the EU Procurement Legislation and Procurement Standing Orders has been completed, and the recommendations provide best value for money for the Council.  In addition to delivering savings, the contract will also deliver an improved service with strengthened performance measures and robust contract management.
