Cleaning services · UK public procurement notice

HNC wishes to appoint a cleaning services company to provide regular cleaning across site to ensure that the college maintains a welcoming, hygienic and safe educational environment for its staff and students.

We require an all-encompassing daily cleaning service to cover all areas of the college, working to a cleaning regime designed around our requirements.

Cleaning activities during term time are not to impact on the daily experience of staff and students. Morning shifts are set at 6am - 9am and evening shifts are 4pm - 7pm (Monday to Friday).

We are to require on a daily basis :

X 6 morning shifts (total of 18 hrs cleaning to be provided during hours of 6am and 9am Monday to Friday Term Time only - 38 weeks)

X 15 evening shifts (total of 45 hrs cleaning to be provided during hours of 4pm - 7pm Monday to Friday Term Tiem only - 38 weeks)

Additional cleaning support will be required out of term time during the holidays - approximately 630 hrs per year. Majority of which will be required in the two weeks leading up to the start of the new academic year when deep cleaning can take place.

HNC would like to secure a 3 year contract with the successful company in the first instance with the option to extend by two further years thereafter.

We currently have 20 cleaners and 1 cleaning manager employed by the College. Tupe will apply given that our in-house cleaning team is to be moved to the successful external contractor.

The appointment will be made following a process of competitive tendering.

The requirement is set out in the Specification, which is in Part 2 of the ITT document.
