UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Simply Serve Ltd intends to procure pest-control and pest-management services for Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. The work covers Yeovil District Hospital, Yeovil District Hospital Goldcroft Residences, Musgrove Park Hospital, community and mental health sites, and associated satellite sites. This is a service contract for controlling and managing pests across a varied NHS estate, including hospitals and other healthcare locations. Suppliers whose business focuses on pest control for institutional or healthcare premises are likely to find the scope relevant. The planned procurement is organised as one lot, covering the service across the listed locations.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. A preliminary market engagement questionnaire is planned, with responses expected by 19 October 2026. The buyer expects to publish a further notice by 28 October 2026. The planned contract is due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £193,391.11 excluding VAT (£232,069.33 including VAT). The procedure and evaluation criteria have not yet been set out. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is a single-lot competition.

This is preparation for a future competition rather than a tender to bid for now. The work is likely to suit pest-control firms able to provide ongoing coverage across a multi-site healthcare estate, including acute hospitals, community and mental health facilities, residences and satellite locations. Suppliers should consider whether they can organise consistent service delivery across geographically dispersed sites and meet the operational requirements of healthcare settings. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so businesses of that scale may be well placed to prepare. The buyer is seeking market input through a preliminary engagement questionnaire; interested suppliers can request a copy from the buyer and return completed responses by email. This engagement offers a chance to inform the planned procurement before tender documents are issued.
