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:— 4 year contract for each service for NCHC = 10 200 000 GBP approx,— 4 year contract for each service for NSFT = 15 500 000 GBP approx.The Authorities are able to put additional contracts in place prior to the end of the framework period for up to another 4 years. This would bring the maximum potential value for this framework to 52 000 000 GBP approx.The remaining 8 000 000 GBP has been included to allow other named Authorities to utilise the Framework Agreement during the term.
