Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh procured preventative and reactive pest-control services to eradicate infestations and protect against future pest problems across its estate. The work covered two areas: accommodation, catering and events premises, and wider university buildings including offices and laboratories. Services include proactive and responsive visits. The accommodation lot covers facilities used by students, staff and visitors, including conference and event venues. The estates lot covers buildings across Edinburgh and Midlothian. The requirement is for pest-control services, rather than pest-management consultancy or a supply-only contract.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded through an open procedure. Graham Environmental Services Ltd trading as Graham Pest Control was selected for accommodation, catering and events; its contract is worth £317,731.04. GP Environmental Ltd was selected for the estates lot, with a contract value of £170,193.04. Both contracts were signed on 29 September 2026. Each is for an initial two-year period starting 5 October 2026, with two optional one-year extensions, potentially running to 4 October 2030. Bidders could apply for only one lot. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and price at 40%. Each lot received eight bids, including five from SMEs.

For suppliers preparing for a comparable requirement from the University of Edinburgh, the competition shows demand for both scheduled preventative visits and reactive pest-control response across varied operational settings. Credible providers need experience handling pest issues in accommodation, catering and event facilities as well as offices and laboratories; the two lots separated hospitality-related premises from the wider estate. The selection requirements called for three examples from the previous three years of services similar in value and complexity to the lot bid for, alongside evidence of financial strength. Suppliers also needed to meet turnover thresholds of £75,000 for the accommodation lot or £61,000 for estates, and hold or commit to specified employers’, product and public liability insurance. Technical quality carried more weight than price, and subcontracting intentions had to be declared.
