Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation commissioned bird control works at Smithfield Market Hall. The requirement covers clearance and disinfection of bird fouling, together with bird netting and associated pest-control activity. This is a services contract delivered at a central London market facility, where specialist work is needed to manage birds, remove contamination and restore hygienic conditions. It will suit businesses providing commercial bird control, pest management, fouling clearance, cleaning and disinfection services, particularly those experienced in working in operational food-market or other public-facing environments. The buying organisation is the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, commonly known as the City of London Corporation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Total Support Services Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award was made on 27 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 7 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £33,000 gross. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route under the Public Procurement Act 2023. The award is active and the contract is active. The process therefore records a completed purchase rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist bird-control services at a major City of London market. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in bird netting, safe removal of bird fouling, disinfection and pest-control work, with the equipment and trained staff to carry out the work efficiently in a live market environment. Experience of hygiene-sensitive premises, public-sector sites, food-related facilities or other locations where contamination must be controlled would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses should also be able to manage a short, concentrated programme of works, coordinate access with the site operator, comply with health and safety requirements, and provide evidence of reliable delivery and appropriate insurance.
