Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the University of the West of England involved a direct contract for "Pest Control Quarterly Invoices & Ad-hoc Call Out Charges" for the period of 2025/26. As a sub-central government public authority, the University, located at Frenchay Campus in Bristol, conducted this procurement under a "Below threshold - without competition" method. The contract was awarded to OCS Pest Control Limited, based in Ipswich, on 9th September 2025, covering services within the UKK12 region. The value of the contract was set at £25,000, with a gross amount of £30,000, as reflected by the contract signed on 9th September 2025 and active from 10th to 11th September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pest control services, especially those capable of offering comprehensive pest-management solutions. As this procurement follows a direct purchasing strategy below the competition threshold, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like OCS Pest Control Limited, which succeeded as the leading supplier, are particularly well-suited to engage in similar opportunities. The focus on services in a specific area (Bristol, UKK12) allows businesses with a robust local presence or those looking to expand their client base in public-sector service provisions to benefit from such tenders.
