In plain English
Dover District Council wants a contractor to clean its Whitfield office building, covering staff toilets, kitchens, office areas, reception and meeting rooms. The estimated contract value is £473,000.
What the buyer wants
• Provide regular cleaning of the Whitfield council office building, including staff toilets, kitchens, office areas, reception and meeting rooms. • Submit a response through the Kent Business Portal (kentbusinessportal.org.uk) using reference P64585XUUE. • Check the full opportunity details on the eSourcing portal before bidding, as the notice itself does not list further requirements.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice names no specific qualifications, insurance levels or turnover thresholds, but at around £473,000 for a whole building the contract is large enough that a very small firm may struggle to show it can deliver the full scope, so the entry criteria in the full tender documents on the portal are worth reading closely.
Always check the tender documents.
