Requirements

How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'notice' — it's an invitation to bid, not the full contract. You must register on the MultiQuote portal and download the detailed tender documents (CA18033) to see exactly what cleaning is needed, how often, what standards apply, and how much you'll be paid.
- 2Schools almost always require DBS clearance (Disclosure and Barring Service background checks) for staff on site — expect this to be mandatory. Check the full documents for this and any other safeguarding requirements.
- 3Look carefully in the full tender for the 'specification' or 'scope of work' — this will tell you the square footage to clean, frequency (daily/weekly), what equipment/materials you need to supply, and any special areas (kitchens, science labs, etc.).
- 4Check whether the school provides cleaning materials and equipment or whether you must supply everything yourself — this significantly affects your costs.
- 5The tender documents will also state the contract length (e.g. 1 year, 3 years) and whether there are extension options — longer contracts mean more stable income but less flexibility.
Tips for Small Businesses
- School cleaning contracts often have fixed pricing for the entire contract term, so price carefully and don't underestimate. Build in realistic labor costs, materials, and a contingency for unexpected deep cleans or damage.
- If you're small, consider partnering with a larger cleaning company as a subcontractor — schools sometimes prefer established firms with multiple staff and resilience, but they often subcontract the actual work.
- Schools often score 'social value' highly — if you employ local people, offer apprenticeships, or have sustainability practices (eco-friendly products, waste reduction), highlight this in your bid. Many schools are required by law to consider social value, not just price.
