In plain English

Educo, a consultancy and facilities management firm, is running a tender on behalf of Rathfern Primary School in Lewisham to appoint a contractor to clean the school buildings. The estimated contract value is £280,000, and this stage asks interested cleaning companies to register their interest and complete a pre-qualification questionnaire.

What the buyer wants

• Complete and submit the pre-qualification questionnaire (SQ) sections to express interest and move into the tender process. • Show a clear safeguarding policy with an overarching declaration of duty of care and commitment to protecting everyone from harm, regardless of age, disability, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation. • Provide a cleaning service that covers term-time cleaning of the school buildings and deep cleans during school holidays, with staff welfare and environmental conservation as key evaluation areas.

Requirements

Named in the buyer's notice:

What could rule a small business out: A business without a clear written safeguarding policy containing the required declaration would most likely be ruled out, and businesses without demonstrable experience of contract cleaning at this scale may also struggle at the pre-qualification stage.

Always check the tender documents.

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.
