Cleaning, Catering (Hostess) and Portering Services

Descriptions

The Authority is looking for Cleaning, Catering and Portering Services to replace the current, bundled service contracts held by NCHC and NSFT. The cleaning service will, in many cases, be in clinical areas and so compliance with relevant national standards are applicable. The catering service is essentially a hostess service - the serving of cook-chill or cook-freeze meals on site. The estimated total value of the resultant Framework has been calculated as follows: Four year contract for each service for NCHC = £10.2 million approx. Four year contract for each service for NSFT = £15.5 million approx. The Authorities are able to put additional contracts in place prior to the end of the Framework period for up to another four years. This would bring the maximum potential value for this framework to £52 million approx. The remaining £8 million has been included to allow other named Authorities to utilise the framework agreement during the term.
