Delivery Notes

A cleaning contractor is required to clean the rooms/areas in our Residential areas at our Cambridge and Chelmsford campuses which are vacated in early/mid-June each year, and to clean parts of the Halls of Residences as required throughout a defined period during the summer months for summer business (exact dates to be confirmed each year with the Universities Facilities manager or their representative - usually 14-16 weeks, early/mid-June - mid/late September each year), ensuring rooms/areas are ready for the new student intake in September. There may also be a requirement to provide hotel style cleaning for any commercial summer business for student rooms that are used for this purpose throughout the summer.
Note that this is a schedule of rates type agreement, with our Residential Services team detailing which services are required and by when throughout the period in question. The vast majority of the work will be light and deep cleans of the student bedrooms and kitchen areas, with other cleaning services as detailed requested on a as needed basis. Please note that there is no minimum guaranteed work, and the required quantity of cleaning services can vary throughout the period, so flexibility is vital. However, based on 2022 expenditure, we expect to spend around £85k at Cambridge and £65K at Chelmsford excluding vat each year on these services.
