[06] Buyer questions
Before you tender.
Do you take part in pre-market engagement?
Yes. We welcome early market engagement and supplier days. Talking before a tender is published helps buyers write specifications that SMEs can realistically bid for.
Can you work as a subcontractor to a tier one supplier?
Yes. We regularly deliver regional or specialist packages within larger contracts and can provide flow-down compliance evidence.
How do you handle TUPE transfers?
We have an established TUPE process: early consultation, clear measures letters and a named HR lead for every transferring employee.
How quickly can you mobilise?
Mobilisation plans are tailored to each contract and shared with the tender response, with milestones, risks and a named mobilisation manager.
[07] Contact
Ask for the pack.
Procurement officers, estates managers and tier one partners can request our capability statement and buyer pack. We reply within one working day.
Measured. Not marketed.
Public buyers weight social value in their award criteria. We agree measures that match your priorities at mobilisation, then report against them every quarter with evidence you can audit.
Local jobs
Recruiting from the communities we serve, with roles advertised locally and through job centres first.
Skills
Apprenticeships in building services engineering and cleaning supervision, plus school careers sessions.
Net zero
A published Carbon Reduction Plan, an electric van fleet transition and low-carbon cleaning chemicals.
Fair work
Real Living Wage aspirations, prompt payment of our own supply chain and inclusive recruitment.
How we report
What we do not do
We do not quote social value figures we cannot evidence. Any number on a live version of this page links to the report behind it, and every commitment carries an owner and a date.
