04Cleaning contracts: common questions
How many cleaning tenders are live in the North West?
8 right now, from 8 public buyers, with 1 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in cleaning contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win cleaning contracts?
Often, yes. 6 of the 8 live tenders in the North West are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 2 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Cleaning & facilities
Cleaning and facilities contracts are often won on price per square metre and quality checks. Buyers commonly ask for public liability insurance of £5m or more, COSHH procedures and, increasingly, social value commitments such as paying the Real Living Wage.
