St Michael’s is a Church of England High School located in Chorley, Lancashire and home to approx. 1200 pupils.

St. Michael’s staff, pupils, parents and governors work closely together to ensure that every pupil has the opportunity to grow in body, mind and spirit. The highest expectations and aspirations are key features of school life. This helps to create a vibrant learning community with pupils and staff demonstrating a real passion and zest for learning.

The cleaning services at the school are currently contracted out with the existing contract due to come to an end in August 2021. The new contract will commence 1st September 2021 and be for 3 years with the option to extend for a further two years. The same high expectations exist for the cleaning provider as for the school community.

The school is looking for a cleaning provider who is experienced in providing cleaning services to the education sector. The successful contractor will be expected to uphold high cleaning standards, demonstrate a strong commitment to monitoring standards and providing a high level of contract support.

TUPE will apply and although the service has been contracted out for a number of years there are some legacy staff in the local government pension scheme. Admitted body status will therefore be expected.
