This does not imply that this is not happening now - these are the aims of the contract.

The School work to provide the students with the very best experiences they can. The quality of the environment in which they all work together is very important to us and this needs to be echoed by the cleaning and site staff. The cleanliness

and good order of the classrooms, corridors and other areas of the school impacts upon the teaching and learning that goes within the School. The maintenance and upkeep of the buildings from site staff is extremely important to ensure a safe, secure environment for students to thrive. The School expectations are high, and they are looking for a contractor who has the same aims and aspirations as we do for their cleaning and caretaking services. They do seek value for money but that does not mean they will choose the cheapest quote possible. They are seeking a

partner who will be willing to undertake extra work and be flexible in approach when dealing with certain key events in our year.
