Cleaning Tenders

Search live portals for cleaning tenders that are open now, or move earlier by reading a buyer's strategy documents and budget papers before the notice goes out. Cleaning notices publish across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder and the devolved portals in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so one search covers the ground instead of checking each site separately.

Cleaning notices cover office and commercial cleaning, window cleaning, communal cleaning in social housing blocks, school cleaning, and more specialist work such as tank and pipe descaling under chemical cleaning contracts. Buyers range from local councils and NHS trusts to housing associations, universities and academy trusts, and lot sizes run from a single school site up to multi-year, multi-site frameworks.

Often, yes, alongside standalone tenders. Regional buying organisations run multi-lot cleaning frameworks that councils, housing associations and NHS bodies call off from directly, covering office, communal and window cleaning services across several sites. Joining the right framework can be a faster route to a call-off than winning a standalone tender.

The core code is 90910000 (Cleaning services), alongside 90911200 (Building-cleaning services), 90911300 (Window-cleaning services), and 90919300 (School cleaning services). Notices often carry several of these at once, since one contract can cover general cleaning, window cleaning and office areas under a single specification.

Yes. Plenty of cleaning contracts are sized for a single school, care home or office building rather than a national estate, and some notices explicitly invite bids from smaller providers alongside larger contractors. A three-year contract at a single academy or NHS building is a realistic entry point before bidding for the bigger, multi-site frameworks.
