What is being bought

Published requirement description

The successful Supplier will be required to provide Cleaning Services for Queensbridge School.

Contract Value: £158k, excluding Vat and April NLW

Start Date: January 2027

At Queensbridge School, we pride ourselves on a vibrant community enriched by diverse partnerships and a strong commitment to serving others. We collaborate with various sports organisations, offering our students additional coaching programmes and opportunities. Our performing arts partnerships nurture creativity, whilst our STEM initiatives prepare students for future technological challenges. Additionally, our connections with local businesses provide real-world experiences and mentoring opportunities helping students be better informed to make informed choices about their post 16 progression.

Our dedication to the local community is exemplified through numerous volunteering projects, including participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme, which encourages personal development and community service. Fundraising is a cornerstone of our community spirit, with our students actively raising money for charities including Children In Need and Comic Relief.

We cherish our alumni and their contributions to our legacy. We warmly invite the Queensbridge family, friends and alumni to stay connected and share their journeys with us. Your stories and support continue to inspire our current students and strengthen our community bonds.

Join us in celebrating the achievements and spirit of Queensbridge School, where every member is valued and together we make a difference enriching the lives of our community.

Queensbridge is a dynamic and responsive place, alert to the needs of all its students who come from so many different backgrounds and bring their varied experiences, enriching the school on a daily basis. But, in all this liveliness and energy the school brings stability and continuity.

Governors are committed to supporting the provision of a thriving and cohesive learning community which serves the learning needs of pupils and staff, helping and encouraging each and every individual to reach their aspirations and potential. Queensbridge is both safety net and trampoline, catching and nurturing the vulnerable, launching everyone into what we hope is their positive future with the skills to navigate this complex world.

As Governors we work with the school to uphold the core values of kindness, respect for each other and achievement. We meet as a full governing body each term to celebrate, question and to ensure that the strategic vision for the school is being upheld. Each governor also explores different aspects of school life as a link governor attached to a particular department or area, according to experience or inclination.

It is a serious role, as it should be – we are dealing with the future of young people - but it is also exciting, thought provoking, companionable and very supportive."
