Housekeeping contract for Our Town Hall

Scope as published

Future Housekeeping Services for Manchester Town Hall Manchester City Council is undertaking preparatory work for the future procurement of housekeeping services to support the operation of the refurbished Manchester Town Hall.

In parallel, the Council is developing its longer-term service requirements and procurement strategy for a comprehensive housekeeping services contract. The future procurement is expected to consider the full range of housekeeping and associated cleaning support requirements necessary to maintain the Town Hall as a flagship civic building, delivering high standards of cleanliness, presentation, visitor experience and operational support.

The scope, procurement route, estimated value and anticipated timetable for the substantive procurement remain under development and may be subject to change. Interested suppliers should note that publication of this notice does not constitute a call for competition, invitation to tender or commitment by the Council to commence a procurement process.
