Fleet Air Arm Museum- Museum Cleaning Provision

Description

The Fleet Air Arm Museum (FAAM) is looking to appoint a contractor to undertake regular daily invasive cleaning of the Museum's toilet and washroom accommodation, as well as perform basic daily housekeeping such as emptying both internal and external bins. Tenderers will be aware of the issues surrounding the application of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 ("TUPE") and the European Acquired Rights Directive 77/187 ("the Directive"), to the competitive tendering process. Having made careful consideration of the potential contract in question, the National Museum's view is that TUPE and the Directive will apply to this contract. The Museum is subject to an existing contract which is serviced by 17.5 hours a week as standard. The existing contractor has three operatives working 12.5 hours, 3.75 hours and 1.25 hours respectively to service this provision. Full Specifications can be found within Annex A. There is an opportunity to conduct site visits which must be arranged with the General Manager of the Fleet Air Arm Museum which can be found within the tender documentation. Clarifications must be sent to tenders@nrmn.org.uk
