Legal & compliance

Commercial cleaning contracts and TUPE

Where a cleaning contract moves from one provider to another, TUPE can apply and the outgoing provider's staff may transfer to the incoming one. A well-drafted cleaning contract addresses TUPE information, indemnities and staff non-solicitation from the outset.

Signatures captured on SigningVault are Simple Electronic Signatures under the Electronic Communications Act 2000 and the UK eIDAS Regulation. Every signature is stored with the signer's name, email, IP address and a UTC timestamp in a tamper-evident audit trail, so the agreement stands up if it is ever challenged.

  • Legally binding in England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
  • Tamper-evident audit trail with IP address and UTC timestamp
  • Signed PDF and certificate of completion for both parties
  • Fully editable — change any clause before you send it

FAQ

Common questions

Does TUPE apply to cleaning contracts?+

It often does on a change of service provider. The template includes information-sharing and indemnity wording so both sides know their position.

What insurance should a cleaning company hold?+

Public liability cover, commonly £1m to £5m, plus employer's liability if staff are employed. The template records the required levels.

Can I charge for missed visits?+

Yes, where access is not provided and the contract says so. The template sets a cancellation window and a missed visit charge.

Who supplies cleaning materials?+

Either party can. The materials clause records the choice and any consumables charge.
