UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group intends to procure pest-control services for its housing and care portfolio across mainland England. The work is predominantly for mid- and high-rise housing, with some care homes, and covers preventative and reactive treatment. Examples include bed bugs, mice and rats, ants, bees and wasps, as well as protected species such as badgers, bats, foxes and honey bees. The service is intended to be available across approximately 1,700 locations. Anchor manages homes for rent and sale for people aged 55 and over, including care homes, retirement villages and housing and leasehold schemes. This is a national service requirement for a specialist housing and care provider.

The process is at the planning stage: Anchor has set out its intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. It is seeking preliminary market engagement to understand supplier capability, risks, innovation, pricing approaches and operational expectations; engagement sessions are planned for October 2026. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 1 February 2027. The procurement is planned as a single lot and is valued at £7,583,333 excluding VAT (£9,100,000 including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2030, with an extension provision that could extend the period to 31 August 2034. The procurement method and evaluation criteria are not established in this planning information.

The requirement is likely to suit pest-control businesses able to deliver both preventative management and responsive treatment across a geographically dispersed property portfolio. Relevant service experience includes work in mid- and high-rise housing and care homes, and managing common infestations such as rodents, bed bugs and flying or crawling insects. The buyer also identifies protected species, including badgers, bats, foxes and honey bees, so suppliers should be prepared to address these cases as part of their service capability. Anchor says it is using market engagement to understand supplier capacity, risks, innovation, pricing approaches and operational expectations. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable to participate. The work calls for national operational reach and a broad range of pest-control expertise.
