## Description
The London Borough of Merton has procured a multi-site school cleaning service for
a number of its primary, secondary and special schools and other associated education
buildings. The Successful Provider will provide daily and periodic cleaning for schools and other sites. The current expectation is that there will be approximately 36 education establishment
sites. However, the council wishes to allow for the option of up to any of a possible 20 (or
such number up to that figure) additional state maintained school sites (including
academies) situated within the borough to be added via a variation during the term of the
contract if their governing bodies ask to be included within the council’s contract.
The current estimated value is based on 36 sites over a 5 year maximum contract term
(approximately £2.1 million per year without inflation) - the addition of further sites is not
necessarily anticipated but if this were to occur this would substantially increase the value of
contract by up to a total annual contract value of £4 million per year
