## Summary

The procurement process for cleaning services at Cardiff Metropolitan University was initiated as an open tender, with the title "Premises Cleaning." This contract focuses on building-cleaning services, specifically for the University’s various premises, such as offices, laboratories, and sports facilities. The current procurement stage is complete, with the tender closing on 19th February 2021, and the contract signed on 16th June 2021. The awarded contract emphasises compliance with Living Wage standards, making provisions for Covid-19 cleaning requirements and potential future adjustments in response to health guidelines.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cleaning services, especially those able to deliver high-level cleaning standards in accordance with ongoing health protocols. Companies with experience in educational facilities and capability to provide custom cleaning solutions, including necessary materials and trained staff, would be particularly well-suited to compete. The project not only supports business growth but also reinforces community principles by adhering to Living Wage practices, appealing to enterprises committed to fair labour standards.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

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.

Renewal: Two, one year contract extensions are available subject to performance and allied to our sustainable development requirements. A 3 year contract with two options.
