Purpose

Clacton Leisure Centre continues to experience
high usage and maintaining a clean and hygienic environment remains
a core priority for our service. The centre is committed to
upholding these standards by sourcing services and products that
offer the best value for money while ensuring the highest quality
throughout the centre.
In areas such as leisure centres, which have high footfall, high
touch points, high energy activities, and wet and damp
environments, make these areas susceptible to harmful bacteria
build ups, making the need for professional cleaning even more
vital, not only to protect only the users, but our staff working in
these facilities too.
This in hand, will make for a more pleasant and professional
experience for users, reducing the reputational damage and
complaints received in associated with low maintenance and
standards of cleanliness.
In the past, Clacton Leisure Centre has had significant recruitment
challenges to fill vacant cleaning positions, and due to the
growing nature of the centre, it was not a viable option to look
back at this recruitment process.
A procurement process with Colchester City Council was undertaken
whereby, four tenders was received. Following a consensus scoring
Kingdom Cleaning Ltd was the strongest bid under lot 3 for Tendring
District Council.
