## Summary

The University of Essex is seeking to establish a framework agreement titled "T687 Summer and Ad Hoc Cleaning Framework," specifically for accommodation cleaning services at its Colchester Campus. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with an open procedure method. The tender period is set to close on 22 March 2018, while the contract is expected to commence on 1 May 2018, lasting until 30 April 2022. Contractors are required to demonstrate a proven track record in managing intensive cleaning workloads over short periods, with the necessary operational resources for approximately 800 student rooms.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) experienced in accommodation cleaning services to participate in a competitive framework. Suitable businesses should be capable of mobilising sufficient cleaning staff quickly and efficiently, particularly during peak summer periods when the university hosts various events. This project offers a chance for contractors to secure ongoing work through call-off contracts via direct award or mini-competition, enhancing business growth in a sector that regularly requires adaptable service solutions.

## Notice

The University Of Essex seeks to create a framework agreement to facilitate the delivery of our summer accommodation cleaning requirements at our Colchester Campus over the next 4 years, commencing May 2018. Up to 7 suitably experienced and capable contractors will be awarded positions on the framework. Call off contracts for individual cleaning service packages will be placed either by direct award or mini-competition, at the discretion of the University. Contractors will be required to clean student accommodation in preparation for delegates attending summer events at the University. This activity requires a high level of contractor operative resource to be applied over several short periods during each summer to cover the circa 800 rooms that will require cleaning during the space of just a few days. Therefore, a proven track record in successfully resourcing, training and managing sufficient resources must be demonstrated.
