A room-by-room schedule of floor surfaces, an out-of-scope list and a sanitary provision schedule are issued with the tender documents. The service. Fully managed: routine cleaning over a 40-week service year, periodic, holiday, deep and non-routine cleaning including high-level work, on-site supervision, labour, equipment, materials, quality assurance and reporting. Washroom consumables are to be priced both as a School-supplied and as a Contractor-supplied option. Points tenderers should note.

Anonymised workforce information is issued with the tender documents, subject to the confidentiality terms of the Invitation to Tender. Approach to award.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this education & training opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
