Summary of the contracting process

QE Facilities Ltd procured pest control services across the QE and Bensham hospital sites. The requirement covers routine and responsive pest control activity for hospital premises, supporting safe and effective operation of healthcare facilities. It is a services contract managed by QE Facilities Ltd, with delivery across its hospital sites in the North East of England. The procurement was for one requirement rather than a separately described multi-service programme. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are specialist pest control providers able to work across hospital environments and coordinate services for more than one healthcare site. The selected supplier is based in North Shields, while the buyer is based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to North East Pest Control Limited through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award was made on 9 July 2026, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £29,820 excluding VAT, or £35,784 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The published procurement description identifies QE and Bensham pest control as the requirement. The recorded classification is repair and maintenance services, although the stated subject is pest control across hospital sites. The award is active and the contract is active, providing a clear example of this buyer’s purchasing route and contract scale.

This procurement indicates recurring operational demand from QE Facilities Ltd for specialist pest control across healthcare premises. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable pest control services across multiple hospital sites, organise attendance across different locations and maintain consistent service delivery for a healthcare facilities operator. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate practical capacity for a site-wide or multi-site requirement, suitable operational controls and the ability to work without disrupting hospital activity. The selected provider is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large national contractor. Pest control firms serving the North East, particularly those able to cover Gateshead and nearby hospital sites, are the closest fit.
