What to prepare

Before the tender opens

Each point rests on the dates above or a named public source.

  1. The re-tender window opens in October 2026
    That is an estimated date, about 6 months before the contract ends. From then the buyer could advertise the new tender, so have the papers below ready before it.
  2. Current tax clearance
    Irish public buyers check your Revenue tax clearance before award; no clearance, no contract.

  3. ESPD self-declaration (above EU thresholds)
    On the ESPD, a standard EU form, you declare you meet the exclusion grounds and selection criteria, and must prove it if you win.
    Source: Directive 2014/24/EU, Article 59 (European Single Procurement Document)
  4. Minimum yearly turnover
    Buyers may ask for turnover of up to twice the yearly contract value; below it, the bid is out.
    Source: Directive 2014/24/EU, Article 58(3)
  5. Pay at or above the Contract Cleaning ERO rates
    Contract cleaning has an Employment Regulation Order (ERO) that sets minimum pay; a price that can't cover its rates can be rejected.

  6. Garda vetting for staff at schools and healthcare sites
    Work with children or vulnerable adults needs vetted staff before they start.

  7. Written Safety Statement
    Every employer must have one; buyers ask for it and may score it.
