Summary of the contracting process

East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust are procuring comprehensive pest control services across their healthcare estates. The service covers acute and community hospitals, outpatient facilities, administrative sites and specialist healthcare environments, supporting patient safety, infection prevention and control, service continuity and regulatory compliance. The scope includes routine monitoring, planned preventative maintenance, rapid reactive response, technical support, pest risk management, environmental assessments, proofing recommendations, targeted treatments, reporting and continuous improvement under integrated pest management principles. Delivery sites are in Burnley, Clitheroe, Nelson, Blackburn, Preston, Chorley, Lancaster, Millom, Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness. The procurement is divided into three geographical lots covering East Lancashire, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and Morecambe Bay.

The procurement has reached tender: the authorities invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. Enquiries closed on 2 September 2026 at 15:00 and tenders are due by 28 September 2026 at 15:00; the award decision is scheduled for 20 October 2026. Contracts are planned to run from 16 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by one year plus one year. Estimated values are £266,000 excluding VAT for East Lancashire, £313,500 for Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and £70,000 for Morecambe Bay; the total estimated value excluding VAT is £649,500. Suppliers may bid for a maximum of two lots and may be awarded a maximum of two. Each lot is evaluated on quality/service at 45%, cost at 45% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits established pest control providers able to deliver a resilient, coordinated service across multiple NHS sites and differing healthcare environments. Suppliers need the operational capability to combine preventative monitoring with rapid reactive attendance, specialist technical advice, proofing recommendations and targeted interventions. Experience of working safely around patients, staff, visitors, clinical services and sensitive healthcare settings will be important, as will an understanding of infection prevention and control, regulatory compliance and service continuity. The requirement favours providers with strong reporting, governance, data analysis and continuous-improvement systems, alongside the capacity to manage seasonal and site-specific risks across a broad geographical area. Environmental responsibility is relevant because the service is expected to minimise environmental impact and reduce reliance on chemical treatments. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable, and suppliers can compete for up to two lots.

Notice Description

The Authorities require the provision of a comprehensive, resilient and integrated pest control service across a diverse healthcare estate comprising acute hospitals, community hospitals, outpatient facilities, administrative locations and specialist healthcare environments operated by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. The service will support the delivery of safe patient care by maintaining pest-free environments that protect patients, staff, visitors and assets from the risks associated with pest activity. The Supplier shall recognise the unique operational challenges of NHS healthcare environments, where pest incidents can have a direct impact on patient safety, infection prevention and control (IPC), service continuity, regulatory compliance and organisational reputation. The Supplier shall therefore adopt a proactive, intelligence-led and preventative approach to pest management, ensuring that emerging risks are identified and addressed before they escalate into infestations or operational disruptions. Working in partnership with Estates, Facilities, Infection Prevention and Control teams and other key stakeholders, the Supplier shall deliver a coordinated service that combines routine monitoring, planned preventative maintenance, rapid reactive response, specialist technical support and strategic pest risk management. The service shall be underpinned by Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, utilising data analysis, environmental assessment, proofing recommendations and targeted interventions to achieve sustainable pest control outcomes while minimising environmental impact and reducing reliance on chemical treatments. The Supplier shall provide consistent standards of service across all Trust locations while retaining sufficient flexibility to accommodate site-specific risks, seasonal variations, operational pressures and the differing requirements of acute, community and non-clinical settings. Through effective governance, reporting and continuous improvement, the Supplier shall support the Authorities in maintaining compliant, safe and welcoming healthcare environments aligned with NHS standards, regulatory requirements and best practice.
