Accommodation cleaning services

Tender description

The University Of Essex seeks to create a framework agreement to facilitate the delivery of our summer accommodation cleaning requirements at our Colchester Campus over the next 4 years, commencing May 2018. Up to 7 suitably experienced and capable contractors will be awarded positions on the framework. Call off contracts for individual cleaning service packages will be placed either by direct award or mini-competition, at the discretion of the University. Contractors will be required to clean student accommodation in preparation for delegates attending summer events at the University. This activity requires a high level of contractor operative resource to be applied over several short periods during each summer to cover the circa 800 rooms that will require cleaning during the space of just a few days. Therefore, a proven track record in successfully resourcing, training and managing sufficient resources must be demonstrated.
