FREE BID LOSS REVIEW

Why did a lower-priced
proposal still lose?

We use public evaluator reports, scoring, award memos, and available proposals to identify what the written response made easy—or hard—to credit.

PUBLIC-RECORD SAMPLE · VERIFIED SEPTEMBER 25, 2026

Advance Cleaning 365
MPRPD Janitorial Services

INDEPENDENT
REVIEW
What the record supports

MPRPD staff described Advance Cleaning 365’s proposal as “competent and well-priced.” Its annualized price was $73,960, below the recommended vendor’s $77,682. Staff nevertheless recommended US Metro Group because its proposal gave more detail on managing the contract.

WHAT THE EVALUATOR LIKED

Competent and well-priced

The public report supports two positive findings: the submission was competent, and its annualized price was competitive.

WHERE THE PROPOSAL LOST GROUND

Management detail

The report says the selected proposal provided more detail about staff coordination, quality control, and response times. It does not say Advance lacked these capabilities—only that its proposal offered less detail on contract management.

WHAT SHOULD CHANGE NEXT TIME

Make operations scorable

  • Name the accountable supervisor and backup.
  • Show shift coordination and coverage controls.
  • Describe inspections, issue logs, correction, and reinspection.
  • Commit only to verified response and escalation times.
