Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Strathclyde intends to procure pest control and associated services for its university premises in Glasgow. The requirement covers routine pest control inspections and treatments, planned preventative maintenance, and ad-hoc or reactive service visits. The contract is intended to support the University’s activities across its estate, with services delivered at the University of Strathclyde. This is a services procurement, classified under CPV 90922000 for pest-control services. The buyer is the University of Strathclyde, which is also acting as a central purchasing body. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate service areas, and the scope may be changed as the procurement develops. Suppliers should be prepared to cover both planned work and responsive attendance when required.

This is a prior information and early planning notice: the University has stated its intention to establish a contract, but has not yet invited tenders. The expected procurement is planned for 2027–2031, with an estimated value of £220,000. The buyer expected a subsequent notice on 21 October 2026. It may carry out further market engagement, and interested parties were asked to register their interest by 12 noon on 15 September 2026 to receive additional information. The planned service model includes a standard 24-hour response from receipt of a call, unless otherwise agreed, and an emergency response within four hours in exceptional circumstances. The information remains subject to change before the competition is launched.

The requirement is likely to suit established pest control contractors and facilities service providers able to deliver inspections, treatments, preventative maintenance and reactive call-outs for a university estate. Suppliers will need personnel who are suitably qualified and equipped to carry out the required services, with operational capacity for routine work alongside responsive attendance. Businesses should be able to organise a standard response within 24 hours and, in exceptional circumstances, mobilise for an emergency response within four hours. Relevant preparation includes reviewing the likely technical service specification, staffing arrangements, equipment, geographic coverage and escalation procedures. Firms that can demonstrate reliable estate-based service delivery, disciplined scheduling, competent technicians and effective emergency mobilisation are likely to be well placed when the procurement reaches the market.
