Tender writing for cleaning contractors

What cleaning buyers like to read

A cleaning contract is a promise about the same building, week after week, so the people marking it look for proof that the promise will hold. Across public-sector cleaning tenders, scorers commonly weigh:

• Who does the work. Staffing levels, supervision, how absence is covered and how new starters are trained.
• Safe, careful practice. Chemical handling, equipment checks, lone working and, for schools, safeguarding checks on every person on site.
• Quality you can see. Inspection routines, how complaints are logged and resolved, plus the record left behind for the client.
• A smooth first month. How you take over from the outgoing contractor without a gap in service.
• Wider benefit. Local jobs, apprenticeships and greener products, wherever the buyer asks for them.

The tender documents spell out how the points are split between these topics. Your job is to answer in that same order, with a real example behind each claim.

Where we come in

Forward the pack and we turn your rotas, method statements, training records and certificates into answers arranged for the marker. Every bid is checked against the buyer's scoring criteria by a successful, expert and trusted public-sector bid reviewer before it reaches you. Cost: £995 flat, and should the delivery date we promise pass, the whole fee returns to you. Reading, signing and submitting stay with you.
