Vehicle Steam Cleaning Services Contract

St Helens Council requires a contractor to provide steam cleaning services for its diverse fleet of approximately 200 vehicles, including cars, refuse collection vehicles, recycling collection vehicles, adapted buses, and tractors. The contractor must be capable of cleaning vehicles ranging from standard cars to 32,000 kg roll-on/roll-off vehicles. Approximately 80 vehicles require around 6 steam cleans per year. All cleaning must be performed at Hardshaw Brook Depot (WA9 1JR), which operates 24 hours, 365 days per year. Work will primarily occur during standard business hours (Monday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM), but some vehicles will require cleaning outside these hours, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays due to operational requirements. The successful contractor will be responsible for maintaining cleanliness of the designated vehicle wash bay area, wash ramp, and recessed wash ramp area. Access to the depot is controlled via security barrier during and outside normal working hours. While the Council cannot guarantee the volume of cleaning requests, a pricing schedule with approximate wash types is provided to guide quotes.
