Please be reminded it is our long standing policy that if you wish to consider outsourcing any current in-house service or part of your operation (eg Housekeeping, Gardening) you must conduct a thorough cost comparison study with the help of your FC ie a comparison of your existing cost of service compared to the price your proposed outsource service provider is quoting you. You should also obtain quotes from a minimum of three outsource providers.
Once you have been through that exercise you must forward your proposal to your respective GDO who will consider your proposal. If it is favourable and the decision to move forward with outsourcing is confirmed a contract needs to be drawn up and sent to our in-house Legal team with a copy to the Risk department to review and verify (possibly amend) the agreement before commencing with the new service.
