Why the Lowest Bid May Not Result in the Lowest Cost!
Are you still basing your security provider selection on low bid? Are you focusing on the bottom line sacrificing quality concerns? Have your efforts to explain the value of a quality security program to your "higher powers" gone unheard?
While we fully understand that a low cost can be very alluring when managing on a tight budget, the results of a cost-based decision are not worth the savings. The old adage is very true "you get what you pay for".
If you are looking for alternatives to your current security provider it is imperative that you look for the red flags that all to many low bidders employ to get your business;
? Low Wages for Officers and Supervisors
? Limited or No Supervision
? No Benefits
? Use of a Sub-contractor
? Training Wages
? Reduce or Eliminate Training
? Personal Vehicles Used as Duty Vehicles
? Lack of Participation in the Security Industry
The choice is yours.
