i hope i word this right, if you get an ongoing contract, how much should the cost increase every year.

I have the chance of a small contract, 1 man with tools doing maintenace around a large garden. If i get the contract, i will have it for the life expectansy of the homeowner(lady early fifties)so you could be talking 40 years. It will be getting paid by the government, so it not like i can just say to her every year(give me another tenner)

This is a good wee job for a very good cause, but i dont want to be stuck working for the same money in 20 years time, when simple wording in a contract will solve this.

 

I have never committed to a contract before, thanks for any help guys:biggrin:

Taking everything ino account I put my prices up by 10 percent last year. (Diesel was killing me over the summer at 136p a litre) Lost quite a bit of work I must admit though. But I'd have lost a lot anyway as people have gone in very cheap i.e I wouldn't do it for that if they offered it. Why not put in the contract that the price will be reviewed every 3 years then you have a better idea of market conditions at the time.

Just say that the price will be reviewed every year to reflect the economic state, well something along those lines but better worded :001_rolleyes:

 

It will mean that you arent commited to a fixed price or a fixed price increase.

My mate is involved with contracts in the 100's of millions (utility stuff) They always have up lifts and stuff tied into there contracts. If I get a chance I will ask him about it.

5% per year to offset the boredom factor- familiarity will breed contempt-I would be sick of the sight of that garden in 20yrs time :)
