04Facilities management contracts: common questions
How many facilities management tenders are live in the UK?
161 right now, from 133 public buyers, with 51 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 facilities management contracts?
Where a minimum turnover is stated (5 of the 161 notices we have read), it is typically £150k. The insurance named most often is employer's liability at around £10m. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win facilities management contracts?
Often, yes. 94 of the 161 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 29 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.
