Top 5 Cleaning Framework in Public Sector

1st January 2026
Public Sector Sales

Public-sector frameworks across categories such as Cleaning and Facilities Management represent some of the highest-value, most strategically important procurement routes in the UK. These frameworks give suppliers access to multi-year pipelines and trusted contracting pathways used by central government, local authorities, the NHS, education, housing, blue-light services and other public bodies.

Whether you specialise in estate services, technology, construction delivery, creative campaigns or software innovation, getting onto the right framework can significantly expand your public-sector footprint. But competition is intense, requirements are complex, and the bid documentation must be precise, compliant and compelling.

Tender Response helps suppliers navigate this process with confidence. We support organisations with bid readiness assessments, tender writing, compliance checks, evidence development and full submission management, ensuring you submit framework applications that score highly and stand out to evaluators.
