FAQs
Which ISO accreditations are often needed for cleaning tenders?
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001
Are any other accreditations needed?
BICSc (British Institute of Cleaning Science) membership is often asked for, as is an SSIP
accreditation (e.g. SafeContractor).
How can I find out about site visits?
Cleaning tender documentation will contain the details of the site visits – these are usually run on a specific day and potential bidders must register in advance. They are often soon after the tender notice is published, so it’s important to keep on top of relevant opportunities and review the documentation as soon as possible so you don’t miss out on the visit.
How can I find a DPS with relevant opportunities for my business?
DPS’s are a great way to source tender opportunities, as they are usually open for submissions
throughout their lifetime, rather than bidders only having one opportunity to apply. You can search for DPS’s on the UK government’s Find a Tender website https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Search using relevant keywords to your sector. You’ll also find a useful blog

Can a Scottish company win contracts in England?
Yes. Public sector buyers cannot automatically favour local suppliers simply because they are based nearby. However, when bidding for contracts in a new geographic area, buyers will often want reassurance that you can recruit staff, manage operations, respond quickly to issues, and maintain service quality locally.
For cleaning contracts in particular, it is important to demonstrate how you will mobilise the contract, recruit and manage local teams, provide supervision, and maintain communication with the client. Strong mobilisation plans, local recruitment strategies, and evidence of successfully delivering contracts across multiple locations can help overcome concerns about distance.
