How they buy

UK public procurement is published centrally — Find a Tender for higher-value contracts and Contracts Finder for lower-value ones — alongside sectoral portals for the NHS, local authorities and devolved administrations. Framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems account for a large share of spend, so much of the market is reached by getting onto a framework rather than by bidding for individual contracts.

Across the facility management & cleaning notices we currently hold for United Kingdom, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by rfi. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Suppliers complete a standard selection questionnaire covering financial standing, insurance, health and safety, and relevant experience. Above-threshold procurements follow published procedures with defined standstill periods before award. Social value is a scored element in central government procurement, so a proposal that ignores it loses marks that are available to everyone.

Facility-services tenders are labour-intensive and are usually awarded on price among firms that clear a compliance threshold. That threshold is the real barrier: statutory registrations, provident fund and insurance compliance for deployed staff, minimum-wage adherence and, increasingly, evidence of police verification and training. Margins are thin, so the decisive factors are accurate manpower costing including statutory add-ons, realistic attrition assumptions, and whether the contract passes through wage revisions during its term.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
