Calculating consumable usage
«

Does anyone have a formula for calculating how many loo rolls, soap, hand towels etc a normal office would be expected to use on a monthly basis?
I know the numbers of staff and the male /female split, I just need to work out how to budget for the expected usage.

Gerry,
This is the same size as we are looking at:
65 staff (currently 40 female, 25 male)
4 male cubicles
4 urinals
6 female cubicles
1 disabled
We are not using hand towels as they are all being fitted with Dyson Blades,
I need to supply eco toilet rolls, tissues, dispensers, eco soap and dispensers.
Where do you get your supplies from and what sort of price are you paying.
I need to get a proposal submitted with a total annual price in by Thursday.

Are you quoting for the cleaning on this also? You should never give a price including consumables it could leave you well out of pocket. Try to put in costings for each product instead so tell them for instance - Mini jumbo x 120mtr x 12 = £14.75 or what ever and tell them you will stock take, replace and invoice as appropriate, sell this to them by telling them it will mean they are paying on actual usage and not estimates, which may save them money and they will not be held into a three year contract on consumables.
If you really have to go ahead with the consumable pricing like it is it is estimated that each member of staff would use the washroom approx 5 times per day, females would obviously use more than males so work it out on this (average use five sheets of paper each time). Charge your dispensers out at cost plus fitting on a contract period (as long as they buy materials for so long they get to keep them) or rent them out (they will be free for the length of time they buy your consumables for).
But really please think again and don't quote on expected usage.

I did ask them about quoting for consumables separatly but they wanted a total package price, and just to confuse matters more they have to be eco friendly loo rolls and soaps!!!
The price had to be in this morning, I'll let you know how I get on.
