HCC April 2026 - The Provision of a Framework for Building Cleaning Services

Hertfordshire Full Stop Facilities Management Services (hereinafter referred to as "HFS") the trading organisation of Hertfordshire County Council (hereinafter referred to as "the Council") is currently out to procurement for a Framework for Building Cleaning Services.

This Framework will be utilised by all departments of the Council including establishments such as schools, fire stations, disused sites, day centers, libraries etc. It may also be used for works outside of the Council as requested by our partners and customers (this may be outside the geographical area of Hertfordshire in some cases). Please be aware the intention is to award the Framework to between 7 (seven) and 10 (ten) contractors and this is therefore not your anticipated income should you be successful. It will carry with it no exclusivity or guarantees of works, but is expected to form the main framework for the commissioning of Building Cleaning Services for the Council

The estimated annual spend on the Framework for the Council is currently in the region of £8,000,000 per annum. If some or all the districts, boroughs and /or parish and town Councils join this Framework at a later stage, this figure may increase, therefore the advertised spend has allowed for this possibility.

Please note - TUPE will not apply to the Framework, however it will apply to any Call-Offs.
