Estate Cleaning Services

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes (NPH) wishes to invite interested parties to bid for the provision of Estates Cleaning services to cover a number of the properties and sites managed on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council (WNC). NPH manages diverse estates comprising 851 blocks of general needs type residential accommodation serving the needs of 5800 dwellings, together with 2 blocks of older person type accommodation, plus third-party agreements with 2 extra care providers across Northampton, and an additional 2 developments catering for homeless provision. The term 'cleaning' in terms of the blocks and estates covers the provision of the following services:

• The cleaning of the internal communal areas of housing blocks and making sure they are free of litter, ensuring they are left clean and smelling pleasantly after every visit to site.
• The cleaning of any furniture in communal areas, particularly in Older Persons accommodation.
• Ensuring that the external communal areas are kept clean, litter & detritus free.
• Specialist cleaning to communal areas of some other individual schemes including those housing elderly residents, Older Persons Accommodation and those in need of extra support.
• Some ancillary cleaning and other associated duties.
• Assisting NPH in the removal of fly tipping (including items such as black bags, refuse sacks, small pieces of furniture) from inside and outside residential blocks and on estates.
• Other site based tasks which may be carried out on a regular basis to certain properties.

This contract relates mainly to the internal elements of the blocks managed by NPH and the communal areas around the estates, but includes bin stores, garage and parking areas, drying and recreational areas. NPH is adopting the principles of the HouseMark Photo Book for the delivery and management of this contract and have also worked extensively with residents to establish the level of service that they require in respect of Estate Services. NPH will be expecting the successful tenderers to work with them in ensuring that this level of service, together with the standards identified in the HouseMark PhotoBook, are maintained. The minimum expected level of services has been identified as an "A" standard. For more information about this opportunity, please visit the eSourcing portal at:
