UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex Fire Authority is procuring vermin and pest control services across its estate in East Sussex and Brighton and Hove. The work covers routine and responsive control of pests, including rats, and related disinfecting and extermination services. It is a services requirement for a public fire authority, with delivery associated with the authority’s estate rather than a single site. The procurement is relevant to pest-control contractors able to provide commercial premises services across these areas. The requirement is described under facility-related sanitation, disinfecting and exterminating, pest-control and rat-disinfestation service categories. The structured delivery address records Ireland, which conflicts with the stated service area; the procurement description identifies East Sussex and Brighton and Hove as the locations.

The process reached tender: East Sussex Fire Authority invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders could submit electronically, with all correspondence required through the In-Tend e-procurement portal. Enquiries and offers were due by 16 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with renewal options of two further 12-month periods, extending the maximum period to 31 October 2031. The estimated overall value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. The single lot is recorded with the same amounts but in AED. Evaluation is based entirely on price, weighted at 100%.

This opportunity suits established pest-control businesses able to deliver vermin and pest-control services for a public-sector estate across East Sussex and Brighton and Hove. Relevant providers are those with practical capability in rat disinfestation, pest treatment, extermination and associated sanitation or disinfection work. The requirement is likely to suit contractors with sufficient operational coverage for multiple premises and the ability to manage service delivery over a three-year term with possible extensions. Businesses should be comfortable working through an electronic procurement portal and competing on price, since price is the sole published evaluation criterion. The opportunity is also relevant to smaller specialist firms if they can provide the required geographic coverage and service capacity.
