How Contracts Work

From site survey to a controlled handover

  1. 1

    Survey the premises

    Record the rooms, facilities, floor types, access constraints, current issues and required frequency.

  2. 2

    Write the specification

    List each cleaning zone, task frequency, consumable responsibility, periodic work and exclusions.

  3. 3

    Agree the commercial terms

    Confirm the price, start date, access, invoicing, review process and notice arrangements in writing.

  4. 4

    Plan the handover

    Coordinate keys, alarms, site contacts and any transfer from the current provider before the first visit.

Regular Contract Cleaning

A recurring cleaning service for the way your building operates

Contract cleaning is for organisations that need a regular service rather than an isolated one-off visit. The proposed routine identifies the areas, tasks, frequencies, access arrangements and review points that apply to the site.

Whether you are starting a new service or changing contract cleaners, the first step is to understand the premises and create a scope that can be measured and reviewed.

Suitable for

  • Offices with regular workspace and facility cleaning
  • Shared buildings and communal areas
  • Sites changing their existing cleaning contractor
  • Commercial premises that need a written routine

The Written Specification

Make the scope measurable before comparing prices

A cleaning quote is difficult to assess without the specification beside it. One proposal may include washroom consumables and periodic floor work while another excludes them. A useful schedule makes those differences visible.

Rooms and cleaning zones

Tasks and visit frequency

Opening hours and access

Consumables and equipment

Periodic work and exclusions

Reporting and review route

Pricing

What moves the contract price

Floor area is only one factor. Washroom and kitchen use, task frequency, access windows, floor types, stock handling, periodic work and the level of detail in the scope all affect the time and resources required.

The proposal should state how long its price is valid, whether future reviews are scheduled and which changes would require a revised quote.

Switching Contractor

Plan notice, handover and access early

Before agreeing a start date, check the notice clause in the existing contract and list everything that needs to change hands. That can include keys, alarm details, stock locations, existing schedules, issue logs and site contacts.

TUPE and staff transfer

TUPE can apply to some outsourced service changes. Whether it applies depends on the actual arrangement and workforce. Raise the question early and take qualified legal or HR advice before making commitments.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a cleaning contract include? +
It should identify the premises, rooms and zones, task frequencies, visit schedule, consumables, equipment, access responsibilities, exclusions, reporting route, price, invoicing, review process and notice period.
How long is the notice period? +
Notice terms should be agreed before the contract is signed. Ask for the proposed term and notice period in writing so they can be compared with your current arrangement.
What happens when switching cleaning contractor? +
Check the current contract, notice date, keys and access, equipment ownership, stock, site records and staff arrangements. Build enough time into the handover for questions to be resolved.
Could TUPE apply when changing cleaner? +
It can apply in some service provision changes, depending on the facts. Neither this page nor a cleaning quote is legal advice. Employers and buyers should take qualified advice early in the procurement process.
How is contract cleaning priced? +
The site survey considers floor area and layout, rooms and facilities, visit frequency, task times, access windows, consumables and periodic work. The quote should be read alongside the written specification.
Can a contract cover more than one type of premises? +
Yes. Start at the commercial cleaning hub to review the office, medical, education, retail, industrial and communal-area service pages, then describe each site in the survey request.
