FAQs
A few clear answers.
If your question is not here, ask Tina about your tender, compliance issue or operational support.
Who is CoreBid for?
CoreBid supports smaller independent hygiene and facilities management businesses as well as larger organisations needing practical freelance support, extra capacity or an experienced second pair of eyes.
What can you help with?
Tender and bid support, bid readiness reviews, Health & Safety, COSHH, RAMS, environmental management, training and competency, policies, mobilisation and operational support.
What does COSHH mean?
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. In cleaning work, it includes understanding chemical risks and documenting the controls needed for safe use, handling and storage.
What does RAMS mean?
Risk Assessments & Method Statements. Risk assessments identify what could cause harm and how risks will be controlled. Method statements explain the safe sequence and way to carry out the work.
Do I need to sign a contract?
For most projects, the quotation, scope of work and CoreBid Terms & Working Agreement are provided together as one simple document. Your acceptance is confirmed before work starts. Larger, ongoing or more complex assignments may use a separate formal agreement so responsibilities, scope, timescales and commercial terms are clearly set out.
What is free and what is paid?
The Free Bid Readiness Pack is free to access. You are welcome to ask a brief initial question about the support you need. Tender writing, document reviews, compliance work and operational assignments are quoted and agreed separately before work begins.
Can I save an enquiry and come back?
Yes. Use Save & Continue Later and keep the private link shown after saving. You can open the link on another device. A saved draft has not yet been submitted.
Can I send more than one tender?
Please use one tender or project per enquiry so the scope, documents and deadline stay clear. Send a separate enquiry for another opportunity.
Are my documents confidential?
Documents are stored privately and attached to your enquiry. Client information is used for the agreed support and treated as confidential. Please share only information you are authorised to provide.
When do I receive the final version?
You may receive a draft for review during the assignment. The final approved copy in clean format is released once the agreed final payment has been received.
Do you guarantee a contract award?
No consultant can guarantee an award. CoreBid provides professional, committed support to strengthen the clarity, credibility and practical content of your submission. The contracting organisation makes the award decision.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. CoreBid is based in Edinburgh and provides remote support across the UK, with site visits by arrangement.
How can I contact Tina?
