BUILDING CLEANING SERVICES FOR RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL
Authority: Rutland County Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionRutland County Council is seeking competitive submissions for the provision of general cleaning services within its asset portfolio for a period of 3 years + 1 year extension potential with a commencement date of 1st April 2027.
Existing service provision has been provided by a third-party partner who has operated successfully during the last three years in which asset consolidation and variation has occurred. Consequently, any future contract award will be subject to statutory TUPE considerations and consideration of these implications will be necessary.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 2 Sept 2030, 23:59 BST.
