03 / Bid response
What a tailored submission should make easy to evaluate.
We work from the solicitation's mandatory criteria and evaluation format. A response can organize the following elements where they apply:
- Technical scope: a task and frequency schedule mapped to the site and any required standards.
- Delivery plan: staffing assumptions, work windows, mobilization, supplies and equipment responsibilities.
- Quality plan: inspection method, a named issue route and corrective-action expectations.
- Commercial schedule: the requested pricing structure, optional items and documented exclusions.
- Supporting records: only verifiable insurance, workplace coverage, references, screening or security documentation that the solicitation requires.
04 / Requirements
Requirements are checked before we commit.
Safety, access and product rules depend on the facility and jurisdiction. We confirm the applicable requirements in the bid documents rather than treating one checklist as valid for every contract.
Education settings
School access and worker screening requirements are confirmed with the district or institution. In British Columbia, custodial workers may require a Criminal Records Review Program check when working with children.
Government settings
Security screening, site access, insurance and other conditions are reviewed against each solicitation. Federal security requirements can vary by site and contract.
Product and worker safety: A site plan should address applicable WHMIS training, labels and safety data sheets. If disinfection is included, product selection and use should follow current Canadian authorization and label directions.
05 / Next step
Invite us to review your requirement.
Send the RFP/RFQ, locations, approximate floor area, expected service frequency, start date and any mandatory site visit. We will confirm whether the opportunity is within scope before a proposal is prepared.
