From £200 per bid Price agreed first All by email
What you get

I handle the whole bid.

I find the tenders

I search the government and council websites for cleaning and grounds work near you, and only send you the ones worth your time.

I write every answer

Method statements, staffing, health and safety. Written the way buyers score them, using your real details.

I check it and send it in

Every form included, uploaded before the deadline. Missing paperwork loses more bids than anything else.

How it works

Four simple steps.

  1. 1

    Pick a tender

    I send you one that fits, or you send me one you've seen.

  2. 2

    Agree the price

    A fixed fee, in writing. Nothing to pay until you say yes.

  3. 3

    Answer a few questions

    Your staff, equipment, insurance and prices.

  4. 4

    Check and submit

    You read the bid, I make any changes and send it in.

Your part takes about an hour in total.

What buyers want to read.

Q4. How will you keep cleaning standards high across all sites?

Each site has a named supervisor who carries out a weekly quality check using a 20-point checklist. Results are sent to the client within 48 hours.

  • Anything below standard is put right within 24 hours.
  • The client gets a monthly report for every site.
5/5

Clear, specific and easy to score.

Buyers mark each answer out of 5. Answers like this, with real numbers and clear promises, score highest.

Questions

Common questions.

No one can. What I promise is a bid that's complete, on time and written to score as well as possible.

Yes. Many smaller council, parish and school contracts are open to firms without public-sector experience. I'll tell you honestly if a tender asks for something you don't have.

No. Everything is done by email, so it works wherever you're based in the UK.

Ideally two weeks before the deadline. If it's sooner, get in touch anyway and I'll tell you straight away if it can be done.

Get in touch

Seen a tender? Send it over.
