Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aster Group Limited procured reactive pest-control services for single-dwelling properties across its operational areas. The work covers responding promptly and effectively to pest infestations in social housing, helping maintain homes to a high standard and support customer service. Service specifications, technical standards and performance requirements follow the ProcurePublic Pest Control Framework specification. Delivery covers Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Devon, Cornwall and London, corresponding to the South East, South West and London areas. This is a services contract for pest-control work, including the practical response and treatment activity needed when infestations arise in individual properties.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Rentokil Initial UK Ltd on 18 February 2026. The awarded value is £900,000, with a contract period from 15 January 2026 to 14 January 2028. Aster used a selective procedure and made a direct call-off award from the ProcurePublic Pest Control Framework under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The tender submission deadline was 14 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The award was made for the reactive pest-control service across the stated operational areas, with the framework specification providing the service and performance basis. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from Aster Group for responsive pest-control services across a wide social-housing estate, including single-dwelling properties in southern England and London. A credible future competitor would need operational coverage across these areas, sufficient field capacity to respond promptly to individual infestation reports, and the practical expertise to deliver consistent treatments in occupied homes. Relevant suppliers should be able to work to a defined framework specification, meet technical and performance standards, and provide reliable customer-facing service as well as effective pest management. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, while the successful supplier’s scale indicates that dependable regional or multi-area resourcing is commercially important.
