15% more value from the same contract price
The challenge
BSix College, a sixth form college in London, wanted to improve the value and efficiency of its £100,000 annual cleaning contract while maintaining its high standards. However, there were initial concerns from the contractor, Ketray Contract Cleaning, that an external review might overlook the specific challenges of cleaning a busy and complex campus environment.
The solution
Through a tactful and collaborative approach, Sitemark worked closely with the contractor and the college’s premises manager, benchmarking against objective standards published by the British Institute of Cleaning Science and sharing insights on improved cleaning methods and equipment.
The results
The review led to a significant service improvement without increasing costs:
-
15% more value from the same contract price, equating to £15,000 of additional service annually.
-
More cleaning conducted during holiday periods at no extra cost
-
Improved efficiency during term time through better equipment and methods
-
Enhanced health and safety compliance with full safety data readily available
-
The college can now demonstrate ‘due diligence’ regarding cleaning practices
Now, we have more cleaning done in the holiday periods, for the same money by the same contractor, and a more efficient working during term, using better methods and equipment.
