Choose Best Value Over Lowest Price
Quality and professional cleaning services allows you to not only to fulfil your legal obligations to ensure the health, safety and hygiene of your facility, but also to preserve your facility at a level that would minimise maintenance needs, such as painting. Furthermore, quality cleaning services also allows you to ensure a high level of aesthetics that also reflect your level of services. Overall, working with a well-respected professional cleaning company also contributes to your positive reputation.
Nevertheless, cost containment measures, lax regulation of the sector, as well as the lack of knowledge on the negative implications of low standard services often lead to price dictated decisions. The consequences of selecting the lowest bidders instead of 'Best Value' are twofold: they create unfair competition amongst employers whilst also contributing to adverse conditions for cleaners, as the lowest bidders might not be respecting wage legislation, social contribution or tax obligations. For example, as labour costs in this sector amount to 85% to 90% of the turnover, a decrease in price quickly translates into a heavy pressure upon the conditions of employment. In turn, this often leads to quality shortcomings, as personnel and cleaning infrastructure are reduced to make cost savings. It may even have broader implications, such as the adoption of unethical or illegal practices.

Choose Local
Contracting a cleaning service which is based locally to your facility will help minimise costs, as there will be no need to factor in long commuting times for cleaning operatives and account managers into the overall price for the service. However, the main benefit of using a local company, is that they will have teams of cleaners in the area ready to work.
