UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust procured pest-control services for its estate, with delivery recorded in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers the prevention and control of pests in healthcare premises, including routine planned visits and emergency responses for different risk categories. It also includes service reporting, with reports uploaded within 48 hours and same-day summaries for critical areas. The service must address biocide and wildlife compliance, including avoiding enforcement or licensing breaches. This is a services requirement rather than a supply or construction opportunity. Pest-control contractors with the operational capability to support NHS premises and manage both scheduled and urgent activity are the closest fit. The buying organisation is Medway NHS Foundation Trust, based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Rentokil Initial PLC was selected, and the contract was signed on 8 September 2026. The award date is not separately stated. The active contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 14 September 2029, with a gross value of £49,920. Renewal provisions allow a possible extension of two further 12-month periods, giving a potential total term of five years and a maximum end date of 14 September 2031. There was one completed lot. Performance is measured monthly against emergency response times, reporting compliance, planned service delivery and biocide or wildlife compliance. The award basis was direct appointment rather than a competitive evaluation.

This award demonstrates an NHS buyer’s need for a managed pest-control service combining planned routine visits with reliable emergency attendance. A credible future competitor would need trained pest-control staff able to work safely in healthcare environments, respond according to risk categories and maintain consistent coverage across scheduled locations. Strong operational systems would be important: the buyer expects routine work to be completed as planned, reports to be uploaded within 48 hours and critical-area summaries to be produced on the same day. Suppliers would also need robust regulatory controls for biocide use and wildlife work, with licensing and enforcement compliance maintained without breaches. Evidence of measurable service performance, dependable reporting, emergency capacity and experience delivering controlled services for large public-sector estates would strengthen a competing proposition.
