We clean for public sector organisations — schools, NHS facilities, care homes, government buildings — against strict hygiene, safety and compliance standards, not a commercial cleaning checklist with a public sector label stuck on it afterwards. That distinction matters more than it sounds; it’s usually where contracts go wrong.
Daily classroom cleaning, hall floor maintenance, kitchen hygiene and playground litter picking, scheduled around the school day so it never overlaps with lesson time or pickup.
Lecture theatres, laboratories, student common areas, libraries and campus washrooms — the cleaning frequency here needs to follow actual footfall, not a flat once-a-day visit that misses the 4pm crowd.
Clinical-grade cleaning against the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness — a specific framework, not a commercial standard relabelled for a healthcare setting.
Person-centred, sensitive cleaning for residential and nursing environments, where the cleaning team needs to be genuinely unobtrusive around residents while still meeting a clinical-level standard.
Council offices, civic centres, courthouses and public-facing service buildings, cleaned to a standard that holds up if it's ever audited — because in the public sector, it usually is.
High-traffic facilities needing frequent sanitisation and consumable top-ups. These are the sites where a missed visit gets noticed within the hour, not by the end of the week.
Public sector cleaning specifications tend to list technical standards without much explanation of why they matter — so here’s the short version. Colour-coding exists because using the same mop or cloth across a kitchen and a washroom is one of the most common (and most avoidable) causes of cross-contamination. BS EN 13697 is the actual disinfection standard being tested against, not a marketing phrase. And COSHH data sheets aren’t paperwork for its own sake — they’re what an inspector or auditor will ask to see first if anything goes wrong.
We respond to formal tenders or provide a detailed proposal tailored to your specification and budget — not a generic rate card with the client's name changed at the top.
A dedicated mobilisation plan covering staff recruitment, DBS checks, training and site induction, completed before day one rather than worked out on the fly once the contract's already started.
Consistent, auditable cleaning from uniformed operatives, with daily task sheets and quality checks — so contract performance is something you can point to, not just something you're told over the phone.
Monthly KPI reports, regular review meetings and continuous improvement recommendations. The point of this isn't just reporting for its own sake — it's catching a dip in standard before it becomes the reason a contract doesn't get renewed.
The process is built to be auditable at every stage — that’s a genuine requirement for public sector clients, not something we’ve added to sound thorough. A mistake we see fairly often with smaller contractors moving into public sector work is treating mobilisation as a box-ticking formality. In practice, mobilisation is usually where problems either get caught early or start surfacing three months into the contract, once it’s already inconvenient to fix them.
All operatives DBS-checked and safeguarding-trained
Full public liability insurance (up to £10 million for public sector contracts)
Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) provided for every site
GDPR-compliant data handling and confidentiality agreements
Regular audits using the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness framework
Modern Slavery Act compliance
Schools and academies, colleges and universities, NHS hospitals and clinics, care homes, government buildings, and community facilities including civic centres and public toilets. Each sector carries different compliance requirements, and the contract gets scoped around those specifics rather than one generic cleaning spec applied everywhere.
Yes. Every operative is DBS-checked and safeguarding-trained before they’re mobilised onto a site — not after, and not just for the higher-risk contracts. It’s standard across all public sector work we take on.
Yes — we follow the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness framework, along with colour-coded cleaning systems and BS EN 13697 compliant disinfection protocols to prevent cross-contamination. The same principle applies in a school kitchen as it does in a clinical setting; the risk level just changes how strictly it’s applied.
Yes. We respond to formal tenders directly, or provide a detailed proposal where there isn’t a formal process in play. Insurance documentation, RAMS and accreditation evidence are all provided as part of that, rather than being something you need to request separately.
