Summary of the contracting process

Homes in Somerset Limited is seeking to procure a qualified pest control company to provide bed bug removal and general pest control services for their residential properties in Bridgwater and the surrounding region (UKK23). The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with an open competition below the threshold as the selected method. The tender, titled "Bed Bug Removal and Pest Control Services," is valued at £180,000 gross, with a submission deadline of 7th July 2026. Interested bidders can obtain the tender pack and submit their proposals electronically via the In-tend portal. The contract is anticipated to begin on 1st September 2026 and may last until 31st August 2028, with potential annual renewals for up to three additional years.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for pest control companies, particularly those already operating within Somerset but extending to those outside, given the nature of urgent service demands. Small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, may find this project particularly beneficial due to the lot-based division allowing for focused specialisation in services like bed bug eradication. Successful bidders will need to demonstrate capability and readiness to meet specific performance indicators, placing importance on quality and social value in addition to competitive pricing in the award criteria, which allocates 60% weight to quality, 30% to price, and 10% to social value.
