## Summary

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured specialist pest-control services for house crickets at Pilgrim Hospital, specifically within the hospital’s subway. The requirement is a services contract focused on controlling and managing a particular pest problem in a healthcare environment. The related classification is pest-control services (CPV 90922000). The work is for the Trust’s Pilgrim Hospital site, serving its operational premises rather than a general residential or commercial customer base. Businesses relevant to this requirement are specialist pest-control providers with the equipment, procedures and personnel to assess, treat and manage house-cricket activity in a hospital setting while working around healthcare operations and site access constraints.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Safety-kleen U.K. Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award value is £15,780 excluding VAT, or £18,936 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 February 2027. The award covers the single completed lot for the house-cricket pest-control service. The process was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than competitive tendering, and the selected supplier is Safety-kleen U.K. Limited. The award is active, with a scheduled signature milestone on 20 August 2026.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement for specialist pest control targeting house crickets within a hospital’s internal infrastructure. Competitors seeking similar work with United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust would need credible technical capability in identifying, treating and controlling house-cricket infestations, together with the operational capacity to work safely in a live healthcare setting. Relevant experience of hospital or other sensitive environments would help demonstrate that treatments can be planned around clinical activity, staff, patients and site restrictions. Suppliers should also be able to provide a reliable service across the required treatment period, maintain appropriate records and communicate effectively with the Trust. The buyer’s use of a direct, below-threshold route also shows that smaller, clearly defined specialist requirements may be handled separately.
