What happened

University Of Essex awarded this contract to Crystal Facilities Management Limited worth £81,685 on 9 Apr 2026. The contract runs until 2 Oct 2026.

Description

Lot 1: Summer Period (July & September):

Following end of tenancy move out of undergraduate students (July) and postgraduate students (September). Deep cleaning to bedrooms with and without ensuite bathrooms and scheduled "sparkle" cleaning to communal areas; consisting of shared bathrooms, communal kitchens, foyers, lobby's, stairwells and corridors.

Each Summer, typically during July, the University will host a number of summer school and conference events on campus. Delegates attending the events will have the opportunity to use the available University accommodation. Student accommodation such as bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms are not serviced by our in-house cleaning teams during the period of student tenancy, generally Oct - July, the communal areas; shared bathrooms, communal kitchens, foyers, lobby's, stairwells and corridors are serviced at least weekly during the student tenancy by our in-house cleaning team. The cleaning services described in lot 1 must take place during the changeover period from student use to delegate use which is ordinarily one week (7 days) using an agreed phased approach for delivery. The cleaning process is then repeated again following post graduate move-out in September. Typical requirements are shown in Lot 1 cleaning schedule documents.
