OFFICE CLEANING SCOPE TEMPLATE

DOCUMENT THE TENANCY BOUNDARY

Record the premises address, floor or suite, occupied rooms and approximate areas where known. Identify common areas handled by building management. Mark any restricted, specialist or operational spaces outside the ordinary office scope. Describe the kitchen and toilets separately because floor area alone does not capture their workload.

Attach a simple plan if room names are ambiguous. Give shared spaces a responsible party so they do not appear in two contracts or neither one. The scope should tell a cleaner where its instruction begins and ends, not merely the name of the business occupying the building.

WRITE DELIVERABLES AGAINST EACH ROOM

Use one row per task group: reception floors, meeting-room surfaces, accessible workstation areas, kitchen components and amenities. State what the cleaner can reach and what staff must prepare. Identify confidential papers and no-touch equipment. A desk-surface task should not quietly become responsibility for moving documents or servicing computer hardware.

Keep optional specialist services in a separate list. Carpet treatment, detailed internal glazing and periodic floor work may require a different price or appointment. The provider should expressly accept those tasks rather than be expected to infer them from a general office-cleaning heading.

SET THE FREQUENCY COLUMN

Specify tasks needed every visit and those required weekly, periodically or on request. Link the frequency to occupancy and room use. If the office is changing, label the initial assumptions and set a review point. This makes it possible to compare a daily service with a less frequent proposal without losing sight of the different deliverables.

Add a separate line for an initial reset where the current condition needs more than maintenance. Record what standard the recurring routine is intended to maintain, using practical task descriptions. Avoid an undefined promise that the whole premises will always be spotless regardless of occupancy or access.

RECORD ACCESS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Name the approved entrance, access contact and relevant site procedures. Agree keys, alarms and lock-up directly with the business. State what happens if a room is occupied or the cleaner cannot enter. Access information should go through the workplace's accepted process rather than be spread unnecessarily during initial enquiries.

Add who supplies products, equipment and washroom consumables. Where stock is stored on site, agree the location and responsibility. Nominate one person to authorise variations; a casual request from any staff member should not silently change a recurring contract.

MAKE PRICE AND QUALITY REVIEW COMPARABLE

Ask providers to price the completed task schedule, state GST treatment and identify minimum attendance or separate charges. Record expected visits, periodic work and any initial-service amount. If a proposal is hourly, establish priorities and how unfinished tasks will be documented. A monthly figure has little meaning without those details.

Agree a simple completion record and a process for raising an omitted-task concern. Set a review after a representative cycle of workplace use. Compare the service against the accepted schedule and update the document when rooms, occupancy or priorities change.

ISSUE A FINAL ACCEPTED VERSION

Give the scope a date or version number and keep the provider's written acceptance with it. Confirm the initial appointment and the ongoing pattern separately. Record cancellation, notice and rescheduling arrangements. The chosen business must accept the actual site and responsibilities; a quote request does not establish the contract.

Use the template as a working agreement document rather than a checklist that grows indefinitely without review. Additional tasks need clear approval and pricing. Retaining a final version makes later conversations about performance or changed requirements more precise and fair to both parties.

USE THIS WORKING RECORD

HOW SHOULD EXTRA TASKS BE ADDED?

Use a short variation record identifying the room, task, frequency and agreed price treatment. Have the authorised workplace contact approve it with the provider. Add the accepted change to the next scope version so the cleaner and management are working from the same instruction.

WHAT IF STAFF OCCUPY A ROOM DURING THE SERVICE?

Record the inaccessible area and follow the agreed process for rescheduling or adjusting that task. The scope should explain whether another attendance is offered and how it is charged. An occupied meeting room should not become an unexplained omission or an assumed free return visit.

KEEP THE FINAL RECORD USABLE

Keep the accepted schedule concise enough to use at the premises. Store supporting photographs or special instructions with the relevant task, and remove obsolete versions from circulation. A document that clearly identifies the current room list and frequency is more useful than a growing file of contradictory informal requests.
