Seven scope elements and service outcomes
The guide specifies coverage, service hours, work schedule, other services, fault reporting, pandemic-event response and deployment proposals. List areas/fixtures/floor types and service requirements clearly, but allow the provider to propose methods and technology. Set inspection units, quality indicators, risk/traffic zones and a target overall rating, with joint inspections at least monthly.
Technology, improvement and performance scorecard
Address equipment suitability, maintenance and staff training, together with reporting technology. Invite productivity improvements and agree whether savings are shared. Scorecards should measure cleaning outcomes, responsiveness and management, with a fair process to validate findings and rectify shortfalls. Combine monetary incentives with recognition and longer-term partnership rather than use deductions as the sole tool.
Tender assessment and numerical formulas
First screen critical eligibility, tender compliance, licence/accreditation requirements and site briefing where stipulated. Then use a stated price-quality framework. The example computes Q-score = tenderer quality points ÷ highest quality points × quality weight; P-score = lowest tender price ÷ tenderer price × price weight; combined score = Q + P. A 50:50 example is illustrative, not a mandatory weight for every tender. The 2017 public-procurement eligibility examples require current-policy checks.
Appendices and sample work schedules
Appendix A records areas, fixture counts, floor surfaces and square metres. Appendix B gives example daily/weekly/monthly tasks for entrances, lift lobbies/cars, corridors, stairs, letterboxes, toilets, carparks and other spaces. Later templates cover inspection criteria, scorecards, incentive mechanisms and sample clauses. Frequencies are illustrative: set the actual schedule from usage and risk instead of copying a daily frequency mechanically.
