This procurement process aims to secure long-term pest control service providers for handling statutory pest infestations, divided into two lots: Lot 1 covers insects and rodents, while Lot 2 focuses on birds such as pigeons. The tender value is estimated at a gross amount of £900,000 GBP, and the procurement is open-ended, inviting interested parties to submit their bids through the e-procurement portal, myTenders. Critical dates include the closing of the enquiry period on 24 June 2026 and the tender submission deadline on 7 July 2026, with contract awards expected by 25 August 2026. The services are to be provided within the UKJ4 region, with the contract commencing on 21 September 2026. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in pest control and related services. It is well-suited for companies that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in handling complex pest issues, such as dealing with insects, rodents, and bird-proofing solutions. The open procedure method means the tender is accessible to qualified businesses with relevant accreditations and a robust health and safety management system. Success in securing this contract could lead to significant business growth over the five-year initial contract period, with a potential for three additional years based on performance, thereby offering a long-term revenue stream for the appointed service providers. ## Notice West Kent Housing Association is seeking long-term pest control service provider(s), for the treatment of statutory pest infestations relating to: Lot 1: insects (eg cockroaches and wasps), rodents (eg rats, squirrels, and mice) and similar pests.

Birds including pigeons Removal of bird nests and guano and provision of netting or similar to prevent re-occurrence Renewal: Extensions to be awarded in accordance with the circumstances set out for Lot 1. ### Planning Information The British Pest Control Association were consulted on 10 February 2026 regarding route to market options and preparation of an outline specification. Incumbent suppliers were then invited to meet with the client contract manager on 25 February 2026 to inform them of the forthcoming tender process, gain insights into the market, discuss suggestions for the refreshed specification and suitable pricing document and how these might be used to best effect going forwards. This was particularly focussed on the logistics and processing of orders, in conjunction with West Kent’s housing management system. (Residents of West Kent will be consulted, in accordance with Section 20 of the Landlords and Tenants Act 1985 (as amended), though nominations will not be requested, as the contract will be a Qualifying Long-Term Agreement where a Public Notice is issued (Schedule 2). Section 20 consultation therefore falls outside of the preliminary market engagement process.) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051972-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 -
