Summary of the contracting process

Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council is seeking a qualified contractor to provide Pest Control Services through a newly consolidated contract. Currently, these services are managed by two separate contractors, but the aim is to unify under one contract. The industry category is pest control services, classified under CPV code 90922000. The procurement is being conducted via an open competition method, specifically designed for contracts below the threshold. Interested parties must submit their proposals by 9th January 2026. The contract, which is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2029, may be extended by an additional year. Enquiries related to the tender must be submitted by 5th January 2026. The contract is located in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, within the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in pest control services. Firms with a track record of providing high-quality and cost-effective pest management solutions will find this particularly advantageous, given the balanced evaluation criteria of 50% price and 50% quality. This could stimulate business growth by securing a long-term contract with a public authority like the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. Those experienced in dealing with both residential and land-related pest control would be well-positioned to meet the council's expectations and requirements. This open competition invites competitive bidding, making it a promising opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises to expand their portfolio in public sector contracting.
