Window Cleaning Services

L&Q is seeking suitably experienced suppliers to fulfil its window cleaning services across its estates. The scope of the services will be split into 2 x Lots (Lot 1 - South / Lot 2 - North)

L&Q seeks to maintain the high standard and quality of external window cleaning across its estate, and is aiming for an economic, high quality window cleaning service with a stable workforce and effective supervision. Cost will therefore be only one element in the overall assessment of tenders. An output specification for scheduled cleaning of all windows outside of all L&Q residential buildings is attached to the ITT and this will include:

• oExternal windows and externally facing glass on doors, where specified.
• oPorches / canopies.
• oExternal and internal windowsills and frames.
• oResidential balcony glass, external surface.
• oPanelling around main entrances.
• oBuilding manifestations and signage.
• oInternal and external atriums.

Residential Windows: Some leases will stipulate that it is L&Q's responsibility to clean residential windows, as well as communal windows. Such properties will be identified during Contract mobilisation and charges agreed separately. Alternatively, there are some Sites (mainly LQL) which will also require residential window cleaning, these costs must be factored into the block cost.

Additional works will also be required

All external windows shall be cleaned as set out in the Cleaning Frequency schedule For smaller buildings, the use of Water Fed Pole Systems is the recognised method of window cleaning for this contract. For larger buildings within the estate, rope access / abseiling methods are used.
