two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The contract is for cleaning services at the University. It involves cleaning offices, teaching spaces laboratories and sporting facilities. The successful Contractor will be required to provide all cleaning materials and consumables, cleaning machinery and staff uniforms.
In the first year of the Contract we are seeking bids for what we are defining as a “high level” clean to support the current Covid-19 pandemic cleaning requirements. From year two onwards we will require, what we are defining, as a “standard” level of cleaning which represents the pre-Covid 19 level of cleaning.
As the duration of the requirement for a high level Covid clean remains unknown due to changing legislative polices, guidance and vaccine roll-outs, the University reserves the right to amend this requirement as appropriate to respond to Covid and may during the duration of the Contract change the time-frames for the specifications to mirror the changing situation with Covid-19. The standard level of cleaning will be a lower specification and will require changes to the Services and frequency of duties. We will work with the successful Contractor to deliver these changes. The tender document provides more detailed information on these requirements.
The University is an accredited Living Wage provider and wants to achieve fair and nonexploitative practices within this contract. Staff currently employed on this key out-sourced contract are paid the Living Wage (as defined by the Living Wage Foundation) by the incumbent contractor. The University will therefore require any new successful Contractor to continue to pay those staff who work on this contract the Living Wage.
