Window Cleaning Service Framework

The University, Lancaster University, Bailrigg, LA1 4YW, is inviting tenders on the terms set out in this Invitation to Tender (ITT) to establish a multi-lot Framework agreement for an on-going requirement for Window Cleaning to Academic and Student Residential buildings (both internally & externally). The cleaning is to include windowsills & wiping of frames, glass canopies and main entrances, all internal glass including glass office partitions; glass balustrades and all glass in atrium areas including lifts on campus and at Health Innovation One (HIO); and Chancellor's Wharf, Lancaster City centre.

Normally window cleaning takes place:

• Externally once a year
• Internally once a year

Window cleaning is generally scheduled between March and September each year with occasional requests during the remainder of the year for VIP events. Some of the Student Residence buildings are required for Conference/Summer School accommodation after the students have vacated them so please be aware that approximately 20% of the Residences included in Lot 2 have to be cleaned/turnaround in anything from a 2 to 7-day timeframe

Lancaster University aims to establish a Framework consisting of two Lots with up to three or four suppliers on each Lot.
