We were asked to do exactly the same thing I put in a price of £25 per bus shelter they weren’t very big I was going to do them with virosol and hot wfp , I thought that was very cheap the guy who got the contract charged £10 , been asked to tender for the job again said Ime not intrested in quoting as it’s a waist of time the paper work they want filling out takes about 2 hours to complete, personally I don’t think any local authority work is worth applying for they expect you to do it for virtually nothing

I clean 2 polycarb bus shelters for a local parish council.  Charge £45 each, twice a year. Clean inside and out, bit of tfr and pure water.  Do them on a Sunday (no buses).
Submitted quote with risk assessment, method statement and copy of insurance to Parish clerk.  Payment a little slow as has to go to council meeting to approve payment.
I know a trad firm in a local town does a few for £10 per clean, but I think that is monthly.

There was someone on here couple of years ago that said he got a council contract for cleaning these, think it was Ayrshire and he thought it was good money but as it's been said the paper work/fault reporting is the problem.
