T954 - Periodic Contract Cleaning Framework

The University of Essex wishes to establish a new framework agreement for periodic contract cleaning across three lots that will ensure that the University has access to a number of experienced, capable and good value cleaning contractors to meet the cleaning needs that arise at various points during the academic year. Details of individual lots are as follows;

Lot 1: Summer Period (July & September): Following end of tenancy move out of undergraduate students (July) and postgraduate students (September). Deep cleaning to bedrooms with and without ensuite bathrooms and scheduled “sparkle” cleaning to communal areas; consisting of shared bathrooms, communal kitchens, foyers, lobby’s, stairwells and corridors.

Lot 2: Summer Period (July – August): Regular service cleaning to residential areas during Event Essex conference period alongside our in-house cleaning team. Bidders may be required to provide additional staff for the last week of September.

Lot 3: Termly office cleaning in academic and administrative areas three times per academic year (December, April & August). Please note the current academic year runs from September 2022 to August 2023, therefore call off order no.1 for lot 3 will be for August 2023 only.
