04Facilities management contracts: common questions

How many facilities management tenders are live in Scotland?

24 right now, from 19 public buyers, with 5 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 24 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. 2 of the 24 live tenders in Scotland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 9 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.
