Common questions

Cleaning tenders

How many cleaning tenders are open in the UK?

24 open UK public sector cleaning tenders were listed on Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales on 8 October 2026. 449 cleaning contracts were awarded in the last twelve months.

Who wins cleaning contracts?

Over the last twelve months the suppliers named on the most cleaning contract awards were Churchill Contract Services Limited (16), Crystal Facilities Management Limited (10), Atlas FM Limited (9). Most suppliers win only one or two, so the market is wider than the top names suggest.

How much is a typical cleaning contract worth?

Can small businesses win cleaning contracts?

Yes. 59% of the cleaning contracts awarded in the last twelve months where the buyer recorded the winner's size went to small and medium-sized businesses (79 of 133).

How do I get cleaning tenders by email?

Tender Radar checks every new UK notice each weekday morning against your organisation's profile, scores how well each fits and emails you the ones worth reading, with the cleaning contracts coming up for renewal. It is free for 30 days, then £30 a month.

How these figures are worked out: a notice or award is counted here when one of its CPV codes falls in this sector, or its title names the work. Awards are from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder; open tenders from all four UK portals. SME status is as the buyer recorded it on each award notice.
