The contractor will take responsibility for maintaining all internal cleanable areas including fixtures, fittings, furniture and finishes, to minimise degradation, enhance asset life cycle and ensure that the high standards and public image, expected by BAS, are maintained.

The required service is to include:

— ad-hoc deep hygiene clean of kitchen,
