For UK cleaning contractors
Cleaning tender response checker
Cleaning tenders usually ask how you will deliver the buyer's specification: tasks, frequencies, supervision, quality checks and mobilisation. Many drafts describe the company instead of the service. This check shows which parts of the question your answer covers and what is missing.
Who it's for
- Cleaning contractors bidding for schools, offices, councils, NHS or housing sites
- FM providers with a cleaning service line
- Bid writers preparing cleaning method statements
Common weak points
- Generic duties instead of the buyer's sites, areas and frequencies
- Supervision claimed but not described
- Mobilisation written as a promise rather than a dated sequence
- Quality claims without saying how work is checked and recorded
- Staff transfer (TUPE) mentioned without showing you understand the process

Example issues the buyer may mark down
Common patterns in this type of tender answer.
Frequencies missing
The specification sets daily and periodic tasks, but the answer never says how or when they are delivered.
Unsupported claims
Phrases like 'highest standards' don't tell an evaluator what you will actually do. Replace them with the checks and records you use.
No rectification route
The answer doesn't say what happens when a task is missed or fails inspection.
Weak vs stronger wording
Fictional example — school cleaning method statement, 500 words.
Weak draft
We have many years of experience cleaning schools and will deliver an excellent service using our experienced team and good processes.
Stronger wording
Daily cleaning of [insert number] school sites will take place between [insert hours], outside teaching time. Each site has a supervisor who checks [insert areas] using [insert checklist or system], and failed items are put right within [insert timescale]. Periodic tasks such as [insert tasks] follow the specification's schedule. Staff complete [insert safeguarding and site induction] before starting.
Fictional example. Replace each [placeholder] with facts you can verify — never invent figures.

Frequently asked
Will the review tell me whether I will win?⌄
No. Nobody outside the evaluation panel can predict scores. The review shows where your answer doesn't clearly address the question or criteria, and where evidence is missing, so you can fix it before you submit.
What's the difference between the free check and the paid review?⌄
The free check looks at one question and one draft answer. The £49 review covers one tender: you get a review report and an improved, editable Word response within 24 hours of payment.
