The initial contract term will be three years, commencing on 13 February 2027 and concluding on 31 October 2030.

Prince Henry’s High School is a large 13–18 secondary school and Sixth Form in Evesham, Worcestershire. The school occupies a substantial and varied estate comprising buildings of different ages, general teaching accommodation, specialist curriculum areas, sports facilities, performance spaces and facilities used by the wider community. There are approximately 1,282 pupils on role and 180 staff. The school has high expectations for students and places importance on providing a safe, welcoming and well-maintained environment. Cleaning standards should reflect the professional standards expected across the school. For the avoidance of doubt TUPE Regulations will apply to this contract. Whilst the monthly contract payment will represent one-twelfth of the annual contract value, a monthly reconciliation process will be undertaken to verify actual hours worked against those budgeted within the contract. Where actual hours delivered are lower than those budgeted, the Supplier will be required to provide a credit to the school. This credit will be calculated by dividing the annual contract value by the annual contracted hours to establish a contractual hourly rate, which will then be multiplied by the shortfall in hours delivered. The school is seeking a suitably experienced Supplier with a proven track record of delivering cleaning services within the secondary school sector. Preference will be given to Suppliers with a strong operational presence within the local area, enabling the provision of responsive contract support, operational resilience and service flexibility throughout the contract term. A robust management structure must be provided to ensure the specification is delivered consistently throughout the contract period. This will include regular engagement with key stakeholders at the school and proactive contract management. The school is seeking a Supplier that will work collaboratively and flexibly with school leaders to maintain high standards of cleanliness. The school is also keen to explore opportunities to achieve improved value for money through service efficiencies, enhanced staff training and innovative equipment solutions. The scope of the contract includes all cleaning services across the school site, including holiday cleaning and periodic deep cleaning requirements.
