The Department has a contract with Telereal Trillium for the provision of fully fitted and serviced accommodation. In return for the payment of an inclusive unitary charge, Telereal Trillium provide a full facilities management service, which includes window cleaning. It is not possible to disaggregate the costs for window cleaning from the unitary charge. Further details about the contract and the services that are available can be found on the Department’s website at:

The contract does not expire until 2018, but I have consulted with Telereal Trillium and they would be happy to take any enquiries about tendering window cleaning services. The contact is:
