This procurement process is in the 'Tender' stage, with an anticipated tender deadline set for 14th May 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £570,659.68, will be conducted under an open procedure, and community benefits are expected. The procurement entails an ITT evaluation weighted at 60% technical and 40% commercial, and bidders may compete for one or both specified lots but will be appointed to only one lot. The procurement is classified under CPV code 90922000 as "Pest-control services". This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the pest control industry, especially those with expertise in handling diverse environments such as university campuses. Businesses with prior experience in similar service provisions, particularly those who can demonstrate technical and professional ability with suitable references, will find this an attractive option. The requirement for a turnover of over £75,000 GBP for Lot 1 and £61,000 GBP for Lot 2—alongside stringent insurance requirements—suggests that well-established, financially robust companies will be well-suited to participate. The available lots offer distinct opportunities, one focusing on estate-wide services and the other on accommodation and events settings. Successful bidders could significantly enhance their portfolio by securing this contract, which includes not only immediate work but potential renewals and modifications without a new procurement procedure. ## Notice The University of Edinburgh requires a pest control service to provide preventative and reactive service delivery to eradicate infestation of pests across the University estate and proof against future infestation. This will include but not be limited to accommodation, catering and events areas, offices and teaching areas. Bidders can bid for one or both Lots but can only be appointed to one lot. Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 ("TUPE") may apply to this contract. The University will evaluate the ITT submissions of all bidders who pass the SPD stage. The ITT will be weighted at 60% Technical and 40% Commercial. The weightings of each technical question will be detailed within the ITT. Technical Scores shall be allocated based on the total percentage achieved by the response out of the maximum possible percentage. This takes into account the score out of 4 and the weighting allocated to individual questions. For example, if a question is weighted 10% and your submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then you will receive 7.5% out of a possible 10%. For the Commercial evaluation, the Bidder who submits the lowest-cost bid will be awarded the maximum score and others will be awarded a pro rata score in relation to the lowest bid. The technical and commercial scores for each Lot will then be combined to give each bidder an overall total score and to calculate the top scoring bidder. Bidders can choose to bid for either one or both Lots. Where a bidder opts to bid for both Lots, they will need to state their preference between Lot 1 and Lot 2. The top scoring bidder will be appointed to each Lot, however, UoE will not appoint the same bidder to both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Should the same bidder top score for both Lot 1 and Lot 2, they will be appointed to their preferred Lot. For the other remaining Lot (the top scoring bidder's non-preferred Lot), the second-ranked Bidder will be appointed ### Lot Information Accommodation, Catering and Events The University of Edinburgh are seeking suppliers to provide a range of pest control services across it's accommodation, catering and events premisis.
