Cleaning and Washroom Services
Introduction
The Cleaning and Washroom Services Framework, managed by Fusion 21, is designed to facilitate the procurement of cleaning and washroom services for organisations within the public sector. Operating under the Facilities & Estates category, this framework provides a structured route to access a diverse range of suppliers capable of delivering high-quality cleaning services. The framework does not operate as a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), meaning it does not allow suppliers to join post its initiation phase. Nonetheless, it maintains flexibility by engaging a wide variety of suppliers, ensuring comprehensive coverage for participating entities.
Context & Use Case
Public sector organisations, including local authorities, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities, often require reliable and efficient services for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards. The Cleaning and Washroom Services Framework offers contracting authorities a streamlined approach to sourcing these essential services. By leveraging this framework, organisations can efficiently meet their operational needs while ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations. The framework's structured approach allows for the integration of social value considerations, ensuring that the services delivered align with broader organisational objectives and community benefits.
Scope of Services
The framework encompasses a broad array of services within the cleaning and washroom domain. These typically include: 1. General cleaning services for office buildings, educational facilities, and healthcare environments 2. Washroom hygiene services, including the provision of supplies and maintenance of facilities 3. Specialist cleaning services, such as deep cleaning and sanitisation 4. Waste management and disposal services related to cleaning operations 5. Provision and maintenance of cleaning equipment and supplies
Who Can Apply
The framework is open to a diverse range of suppliers, from small local businesses to large multinational corporations. This inclusivity ensures that suppliers with the requisite skills, certifications, and expertise are able to participate. It is particularly suited to suppliers who are already collaborating with public sector organisations or those looking to expand their footprint within this sector. While the framework does not allow new suppliers to join throughout its duration, those included have been rigorously vetted to ensure quality and reliability.
Buyer Benefits
Public sector buyers benefit from using the Cleaning and Washroom Services Framework through streamlined procurement processes and enhanced competition among suppliers. The framework ensures compliance with procurement regulations, reducing administrative burdens and expediting the tendering process. Additionally, buyers have the assurance of engaging with pre-qualified suppliers, thereby mitigating risks associated with service delivery. The framework's emphasis on social value also allows buyers to track and report the impact of their procurement activities, aligning with broader sustainability and community engagement goals.
