How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 3+1 year contract, meaning you're committing to a minimum 3 years with an optional 1-year extension — check if this timeframe works for your business before bidding.
- 2The tender pack contains the detailed specification and requirements — contact Mike Newell immediately to request it; don't assume you know what they want based on this summary.
- 3Look for the quality assurance and KPI sections in the tender pack — schools are strict about cleanliness standards and will monitor your performance closely through regular inspections.
- 4Check whether the contract specifies staffing numbers, frequency of cleaning (daily, weekly, deep cleans), or specific areas that need special attention like kitchens or toilets.
- 5Environmental responsibility is mentioned as a priority — be prepared to explain what eco-friendly products and methods you'll use; this may affect your costings.
Tips for Small Businesses
- School cleaning contracts often have tight margins — get detailed specifications before quoting, as underestimating the number of staff or frequency of cleaning can eat into profits. Factor in training time for school-specific health and safety rules.
- Consider partnering with or subcontracting to larger cleaning firms if you don't have school experience; schools often want to see a track record, so a joint bid with an established school cleaner could strengthen your application.
- Social value and sustainability scoring are common in education tenders — highlight any staff training, local employment, or use of sustainable products in your bid to score points beyond just price.
