description: The successful Supplier will be required to provide cleaning services for Notre Dame High School, part of the St John the Baptist Catholic Multi Academy Trust. Notre Dame High School is a large state school of approximately 1500 secondary school pupils including the sixth form. The school is mixture of original buildings and several extensions and new buildings as it has grown over the years. The school currently has an in-house cleaning team of around 20 members of staff – comprising of Evening Supervisor, 2 x day janitors and around 17 evening cleaners. The contract covers the scope for the provision of all cleaning services within the School. The tender project is seeking to appoint a contractor whose initiative, innovation and cultural fit will be welcomed for the provision of cleaning services within the facilities. The school’s campus is across multiple separate buildings and blocks with each block having been maintained to a reasonable standard. A recent quality audit demonstrated that the school was being cleaned to a good standard. Approximately 10,000sq meters of internal cleaning area are in scope across the normal educational range of space breakdowns. The cleaning team currently work prescribed zones which have been set based on skill level. The client sees an ideal opportunity to reset the basic specifications, and then is looking for a service provider that can: •deliver consistency and compliance to standards and regulations in day to day and in periodic cleaning •communicate well with the cleaning team and manage the resource and resourcing effectively •give realistic cost certainty but also assure value for money spent •flex its schedules and service to accommodate both one off and regular events •provide a fit for purpose and proactive off-site management support function •communicate well with both the school and the on-site cleaning team •build an operating model over the contract term that fits the needs of the school The contract being tendered is for three years in duration from 1 January 2024 until December 2026 and is likely to be fixed price in nature with the Contractor invoicing the Client for one twelfth of the annual cost on a monthly basis. It should be noted that the successful contractor will be expected to bring to the contract: innovation; new equipment; and cleaning methods, with BIC Sc standards being achieved as a minimum, thus ensuring that the highest levels of cleanliness are maintained in all areas at all times and also ensuring that the productivity of the cleaning operatives is enhanced moving forward into the new contract term. The value of the current labour deployed in cleaning the school is around £240k, including all periodic cleaning, before costs for cleaning materials, consumables and equipment. This tender exercise will be aimed at right-sizing the cleaning team to deliver the required standards. Although TUPE details are not yet fully available, it is expected that around three quarters of the current headcount (~15 team members) are entitled to LGPS equivalent benefits – the relevant detail of which will be available during the ITT. Full details in relation to Notre Dame High School may be obtained by visiting: Home – Notre Dame High School. Additional information: Please note, this is a Contract Award Notice. This contract has already been awarded.

reviewDetails:
Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:
An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session.
The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has be entered into will not affect the Framework Agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.

CivTech’s mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people’s lives better – and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses.
CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen.
Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better.
Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in.
The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide.
In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they’re developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.

title: CivTech 10.8 - How can technology reduce pharmaceutical waste?

description:
Waste of prescribed pharmaceutical items is a major issue. In 2015 NHS England conservatively estimated that at least  GBP300 million was spent on unused medicines. In addition, unwanted and unused medicines are often disposed of incorrectly, and this has significant, negative environmental and pollution impacts. Both the prevention of over-prescribing, over-ordering or unnecessary dispensing of medicine, and the return of unused medicines in a way that they can be safely put back into the system have the potential to markedly improve the situation.
So how can technology reduce pharmaceutical waste?
