Overview

The University of Edinburgh’s Accommodation, Catering and Events (ACE) is seeking contractors for cleaning services to a range of student accommodation. This will include full lease end cleans, with the main periods of peak being May through to September and also a flexible resource for weekly cleans, which are unable to be covered in house. There is also a requirement to support commercial cleaning, including hotels and quick turnaround cleans following overnight stays. The nature of the requirement can lead to extreme periods of peak and a need for flexibility in the pool of resources available across all areas. To support this and attract sufficient competition for all requirements, the University is proposing a lotted framework. Proposed lots are; Lot 1: Lease End Cleaning (Including Specialist Cleaning) – Covers all planned and reactive lease end cleans and allows for specialist cleaning (Including carpet and Upholstery) Maximum 8 suppliers . Lot 1 will require the cleaning of approximately 5817 rooms from June to September and 4698 in September only. Lot 2: Commercial Cleaning – Covers all commercial cleaning. Cleaning on this lot includes hotels and therefore has different requirements to Lots 1 and 3, including the standard. Maximum 3 suppliers. The number of rooms to be cleaned will depend on bookings received. Lot 3: DOMUS Cleaning*: This is a separate lot due to the 24-hour turnaround requirement and the need to service multiple properties across the city within the same day. Properties are typically tenement-style flats (1–7 bedrooms) with a kitchen and shared bathroom(s). Access may involve multiple stair flights, with flats located from ground to fourth floor, and parking is often limited.2 suppliers. Lot 3 will require 885 rooms to be cleaned between May and September (based on 65% occupancy level)
