Description

The University of Exeter is looking to partner with an agency cleaning company through this procurement exercise. The contract shall be for the provision of agency cleaning staff in support of the University of Exeter's employed in-house cleaning team to meet spikes in demand for cleaning services across our two Exeter campuses and other city locations

Contract Term: 3 + 2 years
Contract value, based on previous year's spend is estimated between £150-300k per annum. This equates to a total contract value of between £0.45 million and £1.5 million.

Tasks
Touch-point cleaning - in line with Public Health England guidance for cleaning during the COVID-19 pandemic, within student accommodation communal areas and academic spaces. Full schedules, guidance and polices produced by the University of Exeter and training will be provided

Conference support - predominately 'hotel-style' activity in relation to bedroom preparation and cleaning in between use and cleaning at the end of each conference season to ensure readiness for student arrivals.

This process is being viewed as a partnership and a very close working relationship will need to be fostered between the Facilities Management Team and an Account Manager to deal with the peaks of demand and responding in the appropriate manner and deal with any on-site issues if they should arise
