The University of Exeter require additional resource to support our large in-house cleaning teams for specific high-volume occasions during the year; Easter and summer conference and B&B accommodation cleaning, evening and weekend event support when needed, support for Graduation and Open Days and some support for on-going staff vacancy cover.

There will be significant peaks and troughs in demand for additional support throughout the year, the demand will not be constant but the requirement is successful companies through this process will be aware of these and plan staffing requirements accordingly, through good and early communication with the FM team to ensure our demands can be met whatever the time of year.

Peak demand will be Easter vacation, all of April, summer vacation, mid-June to mid-September, Graduation in July.

Given the size, scope and high-demand of cleaning within student accommodation within Easter and the summer vacation periods, multiple agencies will be required to fill demand at certain times based on high occupancy, working alongside each other and our in house staff.
