Spotless Group Limited (ASX:SPT) has received a sweetened takeover bid from its suitor, private equity fund Pacific Equity Partners.

The new offer values the cleaning, catering and maintenance services provider at around $711 million, increasing from $698 million.

Pacific Equity Partners’ revised proposal is at an indicative price of $2.68 per Spotless share, increasing from $2.63 per share.

Spotless rejected the initial proposal last month, claiming it was too low.

Spotless Group posted a net profit of $42.8 million in fiscal 2011.
