Summary of the contracting process

Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust procured pest control and associated services for effective pest management across all of its sites. The requirement covers scheduled, planned and reactive pest-control work, together with a comprehensive integrated pest management service for Trust premises. This is a services contract for pest-control services (CPV 90922000), delivered across Kent and Medway. The buyer is an NHS mental health trust based in Maidstone. The work is intended to support the ongoing delivery and maintenance of pest-control arrangements across the Trust’s estate, so relevant suppliers are those able to manage multiple healthcare premises and respond to both routine programmes and urgent requests.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the tender is recorded as complete. It was a competitive further competition under the ESPO Pest Control Products and Services framework, Lot 2.1, using a selective procedure and an award under framework. The award record names Orkin UK and Anti Graffiti Systems Ltd as suppliers. The award date was 1 September 2026. Its value is £198,921.36 excluding VAT and £238,705.63 including VAT. The contract period is 20 September 2026 to 19 September 2030, with a possible 24-month renewal to 19 September 2032. A signature was scheduled for 18 September 2026, and the standstill period ended on 11 September 2026. The award record also says a supplier’s tender was later deemed non-compliant because it no longer met a mandatory minimum requirement.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from a large NHS mental health estate for a single integrated pest-control service combining scheduled inspections, planned treatments and reactive response. A credible future competitor would need operational capacity across Kent and Medway, reliable coverage of multiple Trust premises, and the ability to manage urgent call-outs alongside planned work. Experience of integrated pest management and pest-control services would be central, including prevention, monitoring, treatment and clear reporting. Suppliers should also be able to work safely and discreetly in healthcare environments, coordinate with site staff and maintain consistent service standards across a dispersed estate. Access to the relevant ESPO framework, or an equivalent route when the requirement returns, would be important because this competition was run through a framework further competition.
