Type
Sets up a framework (suppliers apply to join)

In plain English

The UK government is looking for building cleaning companies to supply cleaning services to schools, colleges, and other public sector organisations across the whole of the UK. This is an open framework where approved suppliers can be called on to do cleaning work. It's not a single contract, but a pre-approved list that public bodies can use.

What the buyer wants

• Register on the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform and submit a tender application for one or more of the 14 regional lots (or the National lot) • Demonstrate you can provide professional building cleaning services to education and public sector clients • Meet CPC's compliance, insurance, and quality standards to be added to their approved supplier framework

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: You must be able to handle framework bureaucracy and compliance; small sole traders without formal insurance, accreditations, or experience with large public sector clients will struggle significantly, and the administrative burden of framework management (pricing schedules, performance reporting, invoicing through intermediaries) often makes this unviable for very small operations.

Always check the tender documents.
