Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a hospital-wide pest control and bird management service for Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. The requirement covers pest-control services, including managing pests and birds across the hospital site. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust, so suppliers need to be able to operate in a healthcare setting and manage activity throughout a live hospital environment. The service is focused on maintaining effective pest control, managing wildlife-related risks and supporting compliance with relevant biocide and wildlife requirements. The awarded service is classified as services, with pest-control services as the stated classification. The requirement relates to the whole hospital rather than a single department or discrete facility.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure whose specific method is recorded as unknown. It comprised one lot. Medway NHS Foundation Trust awarded the contract to Rentokil Initial UK Ltd, with the award active. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2029. Its value is £149,760. The buyer holds two 12-month renewal options, allowing the contract to run until 13 September 2031 at the latest. The published performance requirements include 100% compliance with emergency response times, reports uploaded within 48 hours, same-day summaries for critical areas, completion of 96% of planned routine visits and 100% wildlife compliance, including zero enforcement or licence breaches.

This award shows that the trust buys an integrated pest control and bird management service for an entire hospital, rather than occasional isolated treatments. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need the operational capacity to cover a healthcare site, respond reliably to emergencies across different risk categories and complete scheduled routine visits at a consistently high rate. Strong service administration would also be important: the successful provider is expected to upload reports within 48 hours and produce same-day summaries for critical areas. Credible competitors would need robust wildlife and biocide controls, competent handling of licensing obligations and systems capable of demonstrating zero enforcement or licence breaches. Evidence of performance against these measures would strengthen a future bid.
