Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England bought non-residential pest-control services for its 2026–27 academic year. The requirement was a call-off order covering pest control at the university, with delivery in the South West of England. This is a service contract for suppliers providing pest inspection and control in non-residential premises; the stated scope is limited to that requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to OCS Pest Control Limited. The award was made on 10 August 2026, for £25,000. The stated contract period runs from 11 to 12 August 2026. The procurement used the buyer’s stated “BVS” method. The tender deadline was 10 August 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No separate lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of the West of England for non-residential pest control delivered in the South West. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide effective pest-control services for institutional premises and manage the work as a call-off covering an academic-year requirement. The award went to a specialist pest-control supplier that is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale was selected. Businesses with relevant commercial pest-control capability and capacity to serve the university’s premises are therefore the closest fit when this requirement returns to market.
