search terms and bid checks

The buyer may want daily cleaning at one school, a multi-site service or a facilities contract with several trades. Check the individual lots before comparing headline contract values. The requirements below are questions to check in the documents, not conditions that apply to every tender.

Healthcare and specialist cleaning
Read the required methods, training, infection-control arrangements and audit standards before deciding whether your team fits.
Facilities management contracts
Identify catering, security, repairs and grounds work bundled with cleaning. Check whether you can bid for a cleaning-only lot.

Before you commit time to a bid

  • Build the price from the site schedule and service specification, including supervision, travel, equipment and cover.
  • Check site-visit dates and whether attendance is compulsory.
