Description

Gloucestershire County Council is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement in advance of the procurement of a new Cleaning and Caretaking Services Framework. The proposed Framework will provide cleaning and caretaking services across the Council's corporate estate, participating schools and, where appropriate, other eligible public sector organisations within Gloucestershire.
