Lancaster University is seeking to establish a multi-lot Framework agreement for an on-going requirement for window cleaning to Academic and Student Residential buildings (both internally & externally).

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
