Asda Outsourcing Cleaning Jobs | Leicester News

Asda is outsourcing cleaning duties for 3,500 workers to two new firms—Bidvest for the north and NIC Services for the south—aiming to transform stores into the cleanest in retail with upgraded facilities and tech. While Asda touts this as a customer-focused upgrade, the GMB union calls it “detestable,” slamming the move as a betrayal after Asda previously promised no more outsourcing—and warns it’ll further erode already low morale. This follows a similar shift last year when Asda outsourced 1,700 security roles. The transition wraps by October 1, with workers’ rights protected under TUPE.
