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.
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 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.
Whether you're bidding for your first public sector contract or expanding into new markets, HCB Consultancy provides expert guidance throughout the procurement process.
