We invite expressions of interest for the delivery of regular cleaning services to the communal areas communal areas of both later life and general needs Social Housing developments in East and South-East Lancashire.

This opportunity is initially for an 11 month contract to deliver approximately 75 hours cleaning per week against an agreed specification and schedule, across 16 geographically diverse sites. The contract term is restricted to 11 months in order to comply with the commonhold and leasehold reform act 2002. Accent's will commence the required consultation process to support a longer term procurement in July, and subject to acceptable performance, we would strongly encourage the then incumbent to compete for a more permanent contract.
