The Client has set five key objectives which should be focused upon throughout the tender process. They are: • Ongoing savings year-on-year during the contract term. • The contract will be for 3 years initially, with the option of a 2 year extension, depending on operational and financial performance. • Review / suggestions to improve work methodology; suggestions to improve the efficiency of service. • Due to the high percentage of hard flooring throughout the site, it is believed specialist equipment will be required to maintain a high standard of cleanliness throughout.
