Sheltered Housing Bin Cleaning

Tender description

Cambridge City Council has 13 Sheltered Housing schemes spread across the city, which provide housing and support to older people. Sheltered housing, is predominantly, for people aged over 60 who wish to carry on living independently but who require some support in order to do so. Our vision is to maximise opportunities for older people to live self-sufficiently by providing good quality accommodation. To provide support in line with individuals needs and to offer activities and social events helping prevent social isolation and to encourage active ageing. All of the flats within the schemes are either one or two bedrooms, with their own kitchen, bathroom and living areas. There are a total of 9 ‘indoor’ schemes, in which flats are contained all under one roof and have communal facilities such as a communal lounge, with individual flats leading out onto internal corridors. There are 4 ‘outdoor’ schemes in which the flats are arranged into blocks, with individual front doors leading to external pathways and stair wells. All schemes have their own arrangements for tenants to use communal bins to dispose of their waste. There are a combination of general waste bins and recycling bins at each site, and this contract is to provide the cleaning of each bin following it being emptied, on a monthly basis between May and October (inclusive).
