Winning the Bid Doesn't Mean You Must be the Lowest Bidder
Winning the bid for a cleaning contract doesn't necessarily mean
that you have to be the lowest bidder. The entire bidding and
estimating process has an enormous impact on the success of your
bid, and should be considered an overall effort, and not just an
aim to beat the price of any competing business. The trick is to
communicate well with the facility operator in order to create a
set of standard expectations and definitions for the job itself.
That way, the bid you make will cater precisely to what your
prospective client wants and expects, and will justify your
bidding price.
Normally the services required will depend on the client, but
can include sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, buffing, waxing,
emptying trash and recycling, restroom cleaning and restocking,
and window cleaning.
When bidding on janitorial contracts, it is best to have a
specifications list that you go over with the prospective
client. This ensures you and the client both know exactly what
is expected, and allows you to bid accordingly. Make sure you
check both inside and outside of the building, and include any
seasonal or special tasks such as outside windows or sidewalks
that require attention. On your tour, be aware of the level of
cleanliness already present, and try and gage the expectations
of the client accordingly.
Your checklist should contain the following items as a basic
foundation, and should have additional points, depending on the
specifics of the particular job, as well as any specialties you
may offer to provide:
*Total cleanable square footage, including the types of floor
surfaces and the measurements per type of floor surface. Floor
care services such as carpet cleaning and stripping and waxing
is usually bid separately. It is common for a floor care bid to
be submitted
on a square footage price as an add-on service.
*Tasks and frequency of these tasks.
*Similar to the floors, windows can be bid on in a per-unit
basis and can be considered an add-on service.
*Restroom supplies and trash can liners should be identified. An
additional bid can be made for their management (and a small
profit as well).
*Overhead expenses, fixed expenses, variable expenses, labor,
and materials should all be considered in your bid price.
*Production cleaning rates - for example how long it takes to
vacuum a space based on square footage, how long a restroom
fixture takes to clean (toilets, urinals, sinks), and how many
trash cans can be emptied in an hour.
*Initial cleaning cost - you may need to charge separately for
the first-time cleaning if the building needs to be brought up
to the correct level of appearance by giving a thorough detailed
cleaning. When you leave the site, don't forget to ask your
prospective customer any questions you may have about details
and expectations. It's also important to find out your client's
priorities between price and quality.
Remember that the presentation of your bid is as important as
its contents. Put some effort into creating a standard bidding
packet, which includes information about your company, a
specifications list, references, testimonials, contract, and
other information is greatly appreciated and very impressive to
potential clients.
