New provider for internal house cleaning

The Veterans’ Independence Programme is a set of services, offered by Veterans’ Affairs, to help veterans keep their independence. They include gardening and lawn mowing, internal house cleaning, podiatry, external house cleaning and medical alarms.

Earlier this year the contract expired for internal house cleaning services, and, we are required to go to market and ask for tenders for these services. We then follow very strict Government and NZDF procurement guidelines and rules.

Paramount Services Limited was selected as the new provider for interior cleaning. They’ll be providing the same services for up to two hours per week.

Veterans’ Affairs Manager of Veteran Services, Sharon Cavanagh, has said that “Although the procurement process and selecting the new provider took longer than originally anticipated we are thrilled at the outcome and are looking forward to working with Paramount Services”.

If you have a commemorative project coming up, our Commemorative Fund may be able to help. This fund can make a contribution of up to $5,000 for a New Zealand-based commemorative project that recognises veterans’ sacrifice.
