## Challenge

Lincoln Cathedral is an internationally significant historic building, place of worship and visitor destination. Its wider estate includes public and operational facilities that must be maintained while the Cathedral remains active for worship, visitors, events and day-to-day work.

ICS Cleaning has supported Lincoln Cathedral for a number of years, providing commercial cleaning within this distinctive public-facing environment.

2

## Mobilisation & Solution

ICS Cleaning provides a managed cleaning service at Lincoln Cathedral, supporting the day-to-day presentation and hygiene of operational and visitor facilities.

Published recruitment evidence for the ICS contract identifies cleaning duties across the café area, offices, meeting rooms and toilet facilities. The service is separate from the specialist conservation and historic-fabric work undertaken by the Cathedral's own skilled conservation teams.

3

## Delivery Model

The contract is delivered by ICS Cleaning in Lincoln. Published recruitment evidence shows an early-morning cleaning operation covering public-facing and workplace facilities, helping cleaning activity fit around the Cathedral's wider daily use.

4

## QA Approach

The Cathedral's own facilities documentation describes cleaning as part of its managed contractor and total-facilities arrangements, with external service providers subject to facilities management and contract oversight.

5

## Outcomes

The continuing relationship provides a recognisable local example of ICS Cleaning's experience supporting a complex, high-profile and public-facing site in Lincoln.
