Provision of cleaning services

Details

What we need
The Intelligence Community Shared Services (ICSS) on behalf of Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) – hereinafter referred to as “the Buyer” - is looking for an experienced supplier to provide cleaning services at our Thorndon site. This ROI process is intended to identify and shortlist suppliers capable of responding to an in-depth Request for Proposal or Request for Tender process.

What we don’t want
We do not want a supplier that requires all cleaning products to be purchased through them as we purchase the majority of our cleaning supplies through the AoG Office Supplies contract.

What’s important to us
The Buyer is looking for a professional cleaning services supplier that will provide the necessary experience and technical expertise. It is important to us that the contracted personnel can obtain and maintain a high-level security clearance, and comply with all relevant site policies and procedures.

Why should you bid?
This is the first opportunity since 2013 to develop a working relationship with the Buyer for these services. We are committed to establishing a collaborative and mutually rewarding relationship with the successful supplier.
