The opportunity
The majority of UK public-sector soft FM work is awarded without a published tender notice.
Below-threshold contracts (under £139,688) are often awarded by direct quote request. The buyer needs three written quotes from compliant suppliers. They source those by Googling local firms, by checking supplier directories, or by asking colleagues at other councils. If you are not visible at that moment, you do not get the call.
Get found by buyers searching directly
Procurement officers Google "ISO 9001 commercial cleaners Leeds" or "CHAS-approved security Manchester". Your verified profile ranks because it sits on cleantender.co.uk's domain authority and uses proper schema markup.
Use it as a verified sales asset
Drop your profile URL into cold emails, on your website, and in proposal documents. Buyers click through to a page already showing your accreditations, insurance and social value commitments. No more attaching six PDFs to every email.
Win small contracts that pay the software for years
One direct-award £5,000 council cleaning job from your profile pays for four years of CleanTender Pro at £99/month. Below-threshold contracts compound. Win one a quarter and Pro is the cheapest BD lever you have.
