Overview

University Locks is a 651-bed university-managed hall of residence, which provides self-clean accommodation to Birmingham City University students for 41-51 weeks. In addition, the accommodation is let to summer schools and conferences during July and August.

This provides a short window to deep clean the accommodation in readiness for new students arriving in September. It is therefore essential that all cleaning is carried out to the highest standard, first and every time, to the proposed schedules.

The majority of the rooms are ensuite in cluster flats of mainly 6-8 beds sharing a kitchen/dining/lounge area, with a small number of non-ensuite 2-bed flats. The cleaning schedules provided are indicative of the anticipated cleaning required during the summer and should be used as a basis for the completion of the financial schedule.

Additional details

As the tender process is completed so far in advance of the summer it is to be expected that the actual requirements will vary from those currently indicated in the cleaning schedules. This is for a 3-year term, with the option to extend for 2 years in yearly increments.

There is a site visit on Tuesday 13th October between 10am and 12pm.
