Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a major contract worth £733,000 per year across 20,000+ homes over two large regions: most small one-person or two-person cleaning operations will struggle to resource it, meet insurance requirements, and cover the geographic spread without partnering with others.
