Summary of the contracting process

Edinburgh Napier University has completed the procurement process for the provision of pest control services across its various campuses and accommodation sites, including Craiglockhart, Merchiston, Sighthill, 7 Hills, Merchiston Screen Academy, Bainfield, Slateford Road, and Orwell Terrace. The procurement process, classified under the services industry and conducted through an open procedure, commenced with planning in August 2025, proceeded to the tender stage in September 2025, and culminated in the awarding of the contract on 11 December 2025. The contract, valued at £16,230, is an active award to Graham Environmental Services Ltd, covering preventative and reactive measures over a period with a potential renewal in 2028 or 2029 if extended. The procurement process was governed by the CELEX legal framework and was under the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).

This tender provides significant business opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in pest control services. With the award criteria favouring a combination of technical quality and pricing, businesses offering competitive pricing without compromising quality can benefit. Moreover, the potential for contract renewal in the coming years allows for an ongoing business relationship with Edinburgh Napier University, known for its governance by public law in the education sector. This opportunity can be particularly advantageous for businesses located within or near the UKM75 region, as the services were required to be conducted across the university's locations in Edinburgh.
