The Challenge

What the client faced

A regional cleaning contractor wanted to expand into local authority frameworks but lacked in-house bid writing capacity. The tender required detailed method statements, Social Value responses, ISO-aligned policies and a competitive pricing matrix. Tight timescales and a complex evaluation model added further pressure.

Our Approach

How we supported the client

We identified the opportunity through a framework monitoring exercise, assessed the client's compliance position and developed a full bid strategy. HCB drafted method statements covering cleaning schedules, supervision and quality control, prepared a Social Value response aligned to council priorities, built a compliant pricing model and managed all clarification questions through to submission.

The Outcome

The result

The client was successfully awarded a place on the framework and has since secured multiple call-off contracts. HCB continues to provide mobilisation and compliance support.

Client Benefits

Measurable improvements

Improved tender quality and consistency
Reduced workload for the client's management team
Full compliance with framework requirements
Increased confidence in future bids
