Summary of the contracting process

Wythenshawe Community Housing Group Limited procured a group-wide pest control service for approximately 14,000 homes in Wythenshawe and its associated commercial, office and community premises in Manchester. The service covers comprehensive responsive and preventative pest control, including treatment and eradication of rodents, cockroaches, fleas, bed bugs, wasps, squirrels, pigeons and other pests. Requirements include emergency and routine call-outs, planned inspections and treatments, detailed reporting, performance management, and compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards. This is a public-sector housing and property-services requirement, classified as pest-control services (CPV 90922000), with activity delivered across the buyer’s housing and premises portfolio.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. It comprised one lot. Expressions of interest were due by 2 August 2026 at 11:00, and the award was made on 19 August 2026. The contract was awarded to Professional Pest Services Limited for £433,324.40 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2028, with options to extend by a further two years and one year, potentially until 2 September 2031. The original estimated lot value was £625,000 excluding tax, or £750,000 gross. Evaluation gave quality 60% and price 40%. Sixteen bids were received, with 13 reaching the final stage, including 10 from SMEs.

This requirement demonstrates sustained, group-wide demand for a pest-control contractor able to service a large housing portfolio alongside commercial, office and community premises. A credible future competitor would need capacity for both emergency and routine call-outs across Manchester, as well as planned inspections, preventative treatments and eradication work covering a broad range of pests. The service also requires reliable reporting, performance management and operational compliance with legislation and industry standards. The competition attracted substantial SME participation: 10 of the 13 final-stage bids came from SMEs, showing that smaller specialist firms can reach the final evaluation stage when they can demonstrate sufficient coverage, responsiveness and service controls. Quality was more heavily weighted than price, so documented delivery capability and robust service management would be important.
