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.

FAQs

Verified Supplier Directory: questions

When does the Verified Supplier Directory ship?
Coming soon. It is included in CleanTender Pro at no extra cost when it ships. Pro subscribers will be invited to set up their profile during onboarding emails, with full control over visibility and what content appears.
Why does this matter? Aren't all public-sector contracts published on Find a Tender?
Above-threshold contracts (over £139,688) are published on Find a Tender. Below-threshold contracts (£12,000 to £139,688 for central government, £30,000 to £139,688 for sub-central) became visibility-mandatory on Contracts Finder under the Procurement Act 2023, but many still get awarded via direct quote requests. Buyers searching for 'commercial cleaners in Leeds' or 'CHAS approved security in Manchester' end up on directories or Google. The Verified Supplier Directory makes you the result they find.
Is the profile actually indexable on Google?
Yes. Each profile is a public, server-rendered page on cleantender.co.uk with full schema markup (Organization, LocalBusiness where applicable, and Service entities). The URL pattern is cleantender.co.uk/suppliers/[sector]/[location]/[your-firm], so you target long-tail keywords like 'ISO 9001 commercial cleaners Leeds' or 'CHAS approved grounds maintenance Manchester'. As CleanTender's domain authority grows, your supplier page rides on it.
What can I hide?
Anything except your company name and a basic description (those are mandatory so the directory is useful to buyers). Toggle off exact revenue, headcount, full client list, individual contract values, the names of your subcontractors. Toggle on what you want buyers to see: accreditations, insurance levels, sectors covered, years in business, locations served, social value commitments, BICSc / SIA / NPTC qualifications.
Can I use my profile in cold outreach to council buyers?
That's the point. Your CleanTender profile URL works as a verified digital portfolio. Drop it into cold emails, on your own website, in proposal documents. Buyers click through to a page that already shows your accreditations, insurance, social value commitments and the sectors you cover. No more attaching half a dozen PDFs to every email.
Will it cost extra?
No. The Verified Supplier Directory is included in CleanTender Pro at no additional cost. Free-tier users will not have profiles in the directory.
