A single secondary school of approximately 4,315 m² of printed in-scope floor area across three blocks, together with a sports hall building of approximately 1,175 m² delivered under a 2025-26 expansion. A room-by-room schedule of floor surfaces, an out-of-scope list and a sanitary provision schedule are issued with the tender documents.\nThe 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.\nPoints tenderers should note. Timber and sprung timber floors account for 616.6 m², 14.3 per cent of the in-scope area, across five areas including a sports floor and a floor in a food-consumption area. The estate contains 58 WCs, 56 wash basins and 20 showers. There is no site access at weekends or on bank holidays. The sports hall building is not expected to be available before the new year and is priced separately.\nWorkforce.

💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$5e-05	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Tender (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.1	Charged per UK government tender returned

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.1 = $10.00 plus the start fee.
