This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

Caledonia Housing Association has awarded an urgent contract to Rentokil Initial UK Ltd for pest control services at the Martingale Gardens Dundee Retirement Scheme. The procurement process was conducted under an accelerated and limited method due to an unforeseen pest infestation requiring immediate action. The key focus is on the housing and community amenities sector, located in Dundee, United Kingdom. The contract was signed on 20th November 2024, with the award officially documented on 3rd January 2025. This rapid intervention was necessary to protect the health and safety of residents, as a formal tendering process was deemed impractical under the urgent circumstances.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pest control services, particularly those capable of responding swiftly to urgent situations. Companies with experience in entotherm heat treatment and other advanced pest management solutions would find this contract highly relevant to their expertise. Such emergency contracts can also offer valuable exposure and establish strong relationships with public housing authorities, potentially leading to future business opportunities within the public sector. Large-scale enterprises like Rentokil Initial UK Ltd, known for their comprehensive pest control services, are well-suited to compete in this market.

Notice Title

WITHOUT PRIOR PUBLICATION FOR URGENT PEST CONTROL SERVICES AT MARTINGALE GARDENS DUNDEE RETIREMENT SCHEME

Notice Description

This contract is awarded on an emergency basis to control pest infestation at the Martingale Gardens Dundee Retirement Scheme. The infestation which affected multiple units, required urgent heat treatment for the affected buildings.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract was awarded to contain and eliminate the infestation through urgent Entotherm Heat Treatment.

Procurement Information

Pest infestation was reported in multiple units at the Martingale Gardens Dundee Retirement Scheme. The infestation was assessed by experts and the activity level of the was ranked as "high". It was recommended that an urgent heat treatment should be carried out for the building to contain and eliminate the infestation. In this case, the pest infestation constitutes an unforeseen event that requires immediate action. The health and safety of the residents are at risk, and any delay in contracting pest control services could exacerbate the situation. A formal tendering process would take several weeks, which is not feasible under these circumstances. The use of a negotiated procedure without prior publication is therefore justified on the following grounds Under Regulation 33(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015: a. Urgency: Immediate action is required to protect the health and safety of vulnerable residents. b. Unforeseeable Event: The bed bug infestation was unforeseen and beyond the control of the housing scheme management. c. Inability to Use Standard Procedures: The time required to conduct a competitive tendering process (e.g., open or restricted procedures) would significantly delay the provision of essential pest control services, thereby endangering the residents. Failure to act swiftly could lead to: a. Worsening of the infestation, increasing treatment complexity and costs. b. Potential harm to residents' health and well-being, including legal liabilities if the housing scheme is found negligent in addressing the issue. c. Negative publicity and damage to the reputation of the Group.
