The scope of the contract covers all cleaning at Joseph Chamberlain Sixth Form College within the three current buildings.

The successful Supplier will be expected to deliver a concise and detailed method of management reporting at the end of each month, thus updating the senior management team within Joseph Chamberlain Sixth Form College on the contract performance and the achievement of the contract specification in all areas.

The current value of the contract is approximately £180,000.00 plus VAT per annum. Currently there is additional resource being deployed within the contract due to COVID-19 being charged at additional cost.
