University Locks Summer Clean
The contract covers deep cleaning services at University Locks, a 651-bed, university-managed student residence operated by Birmingham City University, a higher education institution. The supplier will clean mainly ensuite bedrooms in six- to eight-bed cluster flats, shared kitchens, dining and lounge areas, and a small number of non-ensuite two-bedroom flats, preparing the accommodation after summer schools and conferences for students arriving in September. Cleaning must be completed to a consistently high standard, first time and in accordance with agreed summer schedules, although actual quantities may vary from the indicative requirements. The estimated contract value is £416,600 for an initial three-year term, with an option to extend by up to two additional years in annual increments. Services will be delivered at University Locks in Birmingham, within the UKG31 region. The critical requirement is the ability to deliver the full scheduled deep-cleaning programme within the short summer window before the new academic year.

From the official notice
University Locks is a 651-bed university-managed hall of residence, which provides self-clean accommodation to Birmingham City University students for 41-51 weeks. In addition, the accommodation is let to summer schools and conferences during July and August. This provides a short window to deep clean the accommodation in readiness for new students arriving in September. It is therefore essential that all cleaning is carried out to the highest standard, first and every time, to the proposed schedules. The majority of the rooms are ensuite in cluster flats of mainly 6-8 beds sharing a kitchen/dining/lounge area, with a small number of non-ensuite 2-bed flats. The cleaning schedules provided are indicative of the anticipated cleaning required during the summer and should be used as a basis for the completion of the financial schedule. As the tender process is completed so far in advance of the summer it is to be expected that the actual requirements will vary from those currently indicated in the cleaning schedules. This is for a 3-year term, with the option to extend for 2 years in yearly increments. There is a site visit on Tuesday 13th October between 10am and 12pm.
