And there looking to tender it out,what's best way to go about this,anybody any previous in winning the contract in these type of situations,any help would be great,do u need to get a list of all the buildings they clean etc and price them
Individually or do u just quote a figure and take it from there,I do similar type work elsewhere but I sub it from another company,

Tenders are usually submitted via a standardised form, contact the council and ask for details.  You can always submit extra information incl insurance details ( a copy is best as they don't need to recontact you for insurance) along with company information and a list of premium clients you already have.

I have submitted photographs as well of our men working, with uniform, caution signs in place and van in background, along with an additional photo of the team.  This adds a personal touch which seems to go down well as quite often they (whoever is dealing with the tender) will recognise you.

All this should be in a plastic folder with a title page with your company logo on the front - should you not get the tender they will have your details on file and are more likely to contact you direct should the tender/contract fall through with whoever got it in the first place.

Finally an example of a risk assesment is preferable.

If they require anything else they will let you know.

usually to work for the council you turn over has to be 3 times the size of the contract that you are going for,  u need loads of health and safety stuff, as they dont like to get sued
