What the buyer wants
• Deep clean all 651 bedrooms and shared facilities (kitchens, dining areas, lounges) to a high standard within tight summer deadlines • Follow detailed cleaning schedules provided by the university, which may change before the summer arrives • Work to strict quality standards to prepare the accommodation for summer school guests and then new students in September
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is almost certainly only open to established cleaning companies with strong track records, substantial insurance, and ability to resource 50+ staff for several weeks: sole traders or micro-businesses without previous institutional contracts will struggle to be taken seriously.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
