What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionGreenhead College have decided to tender their cleaning services to investigate the financial and qualitative benefits they could be offered through this process.
Aims of the Service and Tender
The key aims of the tender are to:
- Provide a high standard of cleaning
- Deliver the cleaning services with consistency - good quality assurance systems in place
- Good communication at local and operations manager level with the College - two-way communication
- Daily interaction with the College representative
- Develop an effective method of handing over any special needs and comments on a daily basis
- A Contractor that adopts a flexible and proactive approach to all College activities.
- Cleaners to work the hours that best suit the needs of the College and maximise the work completed
- A Contractor that operates using the optimum level of staffing.
Training and development of the teams at the College
This does not imply that this is not happening now - these are the aims of the contract.
The College works to provide the students with the very best experiences they can. The quality of the environment in which they all work together is very important to us. The cleanliness and good order of the classrooms, corridors and other areas of the College impacts upon the teaching and learning that goes within the College. The College expectations are high, and they are looking for a cleaning contractor who has the same aims and aspirations as we do. They do seek value for money but that does not mean they will choose the cheapest quote possible. They are seeking a partner who will be willing to undertake extra work and be flexible in approach when dealing with certain key events in our year.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
