Additional information

The contract being procured is a borough-wide 11.7 month interim estate cleaning and concierge contract. The Council has recently redesigned its repair and maintenance services which includes the estate cleaning and concierge service, and will be procuring separate long-term cleaning and concierge contracts to commence on 1st October 2021. This is therefore an interim cleaning and concierge contract to provide service continuity ahead of the separate long-term contracts. Despite being an interim contract, the council and its stakeholders still require a quality-focused service with high levels of satisfaction.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”) may apply on the award of this contract. There are approximately 275 employees providing the current cleaning and concierge service who will have protection and transfer rights under TUPE in the event of a change of contractor.
The Council is committed to pay equality and in this regard, all employees (interim and permanent; full time and part time; PAYE and contract) associated with this contract must be paid at least London Living Wage (currently £10.75 per hour). This also applies to any subcontractor staff that spend at least half of their time on this contract.
