The successful Supplier will be required to provide Cleaning services for ten schools within the trust, six secondary schools and four primaries situated in East Norfolk, centered around Norwich and Northern Suffolk.
The Sapientia Education Trust (SET) was established in 2016 with the purpose of bringing like-minded schools together to work in partnership to deliver a world class education to pupils in Norfolk and Suffolk. The term Sapientia comes from the motto of the founding school, Wymondham College, and means wisdom.
‘Our work is cross-phase and involves a strong commitment to staff development and on-going training for all staff in our schools. We believe that collaboration and partnership work helps raise standards and we work with a range of schools within and beyond our Trust.’
Current catering service annual turnover for the nine schools in scope is estimated to be in excess of £1.1million per annum
The principal aim of this process will be to realise the benefits of a single specialist service provider. This is a key strategic project that will bring the trust from three existing service providers and two schools that self -deliver into one bundled contract, with an output specification defined that should attract in-form education sector caterers to make confident and commercially attractive bids.
The intention of the process is to bring the majority of the trust’s cleaning services under one service provider – with the objective to achieve a higher consistent level of quality in each school, primary or secondary, than is currently being achieved by the mix of service providers and in-house operation. A further aim is for better communication and more evidence of service assurance at both school and at trust level.
The ITT process will focus bidders questions to assure that the process has the right mix and weightings of qualitative measurements to demonstrate the Trust’s desire for enduring quality alongside fair and competitive value; which will allow the best fit contractor to succeed.
