UK Government Budget Announcement - The Risks to your Business

The UK Government today announced its latest Autumn Budget, cementing further financial pressure on outsourced service providers.

For Facilities Managers and School Business Managers, the message is clear: the ongoing impact of National Insurance thresholds changing will have a significant impact on an employer's ability to deliver profitability on term contracts.

Furthermore, the confirmed National Living Wage rise will see immense labour pressure. This is hugely significant for the commercial cleaning sector - where labour typically accounts for up to 80% of total contract costs - leading directly to risks of corner-cutting, unfulfilled "ghost shifts," or even illegal employment as desperate contractors try to stay afloat.

When a legacy cleaning agency tries to survive on a mathematically impossible quote, your business's reputation is what takes the hit.

Ethical Pricing is Risk Management

As a Real Living Wage employer, Tomikach Services operates a pricing model that is competitive, transparent, and built on reality. We feature clear, impartial CPI-linked annual price reviews to ensure the continuation of fair employment. This approach protects your brand reputation, saves you the administrative hassle of annual price haggling, and prevents contractors from throwing in unjustifiable, margin-padding price hikes.
