Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The £4.5 million contract value means this is designed for larger operators, not sole traders or micro-businesses: you will need proven capacity to deliver cleaning across multiple council sites simultaneously, substantial insurance, and enough resources to deploy a team of cleaners on short notice. Most one-person cleaning businesses will struggle to meet the scale, financial stability, and compliance burden.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
