AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Education Department has numerous cleaning contracts in place. The time remaining on these contracts varies, but can be as long as five years. The total value over the life of all current cleaning contracts is $174m. (2) Contract variations occur due to the movement of transportable classrooms, annual contract reviews and, in some cases, as a result of capital works. (3) The expected total contract cost for 2000-01 is approximately $29m. (4) The total annual cost of the day labour work force prior to the commencement of contract cleaning in 1996 was $37m. (5) At November 2000, 174 Education Department sites. (6) The current cost of cleaning in schools through day labour is $226 000 a fortnight. The total expected expenditure for 2000-01 is $5.9m.
