The UK government is looking for a cleaning company to provide regular office cleaning services across multiple buildings and pavilions. This is a straightforward service contract where you'd be responsible for keeping offices clean and tidy on an ongoing basis.
Requirements
- No specific requirements listed in the notice — check the full tender documents.
- You will likely need employer's liability insurance and public liability insurance (standard for cleaning contracts)
- Check full documents for any specific health & safety certifications or background check requirements
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Regular office cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, mopping, waste removal)
- Cleaning multiple buildings and pavilions across the contract period
- Maintaining agreed cleaning standards and schedules
- Supply and manage all cleaning materials and equipment
- Respond to specific cleaning requests from the buildings
How to Read This Tender
- 1Look for the 'Specification' or 'Schedule of Works' section — this will tell you exactly which buildings need cleaning, how often, and what standard is expected
- 2Check the 'Contract Period' carefully — is it 1 year, 3 years, or longer? Multi-year contracts mean stable income but require you to commit resources
- 3Find the 'Pricing Schedule' — you'll need to quote either per visit, hourly rate, or monthly fee depending on what they ask for
- 4Read 'Key Performance Indicators' (KPIs) or 'Service Levels' — these define what 'clean' means (e.g. floors swept daily, toilets checked hourly). Failing these costs you money
- 5Watch for 'social value' questions — government contracts often ask how you'll benefit the local community (apprenticeships, local hiring, sustainability) — scoring well here can win you the contract
Tips for Small Businesses
- If this is too large for you alone, consider forming a consortium with another cleaning company or hiring subcontractors — government contracts often welcome partnerships if you're clear about who does what
- Cleaning contracts are won on price but also on reliability — emphasize your track record, staff retention, and quality. Include testimonials from previous clients
- Factor in staff holidays, sickness, and training time when costing — underpricing here will hurt you badly over a multi-year contract. Add a contingency buffer (10-15%) for unexpected costs like deep cleaning or emergency callouts
