## Summary

Affinity Water Limited is procuring specialist pest-control and estate-protection services across its operational estate. The requirement covers integrated pest management, wildlife management, environmental monitoring and protection of water and other operational assets (CPV 90922000). Work includes inspections of lakes, reservoirs, biodiversity sites and public access routes; habitat and vegetation monitoring; treatment of rodents, rabbits, foxes, wasps, hornets and other pests; protected-species surveys and habitat assessments; and advice on licensing. The provider will investigate burrowing animals, wildlife-related structural damage and water-quality risks, prevent wildlife access to assets, and support trespass and boundary investigations. Services also include covert and cellular monitoring, emergency incident response, liaison with relevant stakeholders, monthly reporting, risk registers, photographic evidence and compliance advice.

The procurement has reached tender: Affinity Water invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. Suppliers first submit a Selection Questionnaire, after which shortlisted suppliers are invited to submit proposals through an ITT; clarification meetings may be held and negotiation or best and final offers may be requested. The expression-of-interest and registration deadline was 24 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The single lot has an estimated value of £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. The initial contract runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with extensions allowing a maximum overall term ending 31 January 2037. Evaluation is split equally between commercial considerations and technical quality. The intended award date is 1 February 2027.

This opportunity suits specialist providers able to deliver an integrated pest, wildlife and environmental service across a large operational estate. Relevant capability includes routine site inspections, ecological and habitat monitoring, pest treatment, protected-species surveying, licensing support and wildlife-related structural investigations. Suppliers should be able to assess risks to water quality, public safety and operational assets, recommend and implement preventative measures, and provide emergency attendance for incidents. Experience of estate security or rural site protection is relevant, including trespass and boundary investigations, covert or cellular monitoring equipment and evidence gathering. The service also requires clear incident, inspection and performance reporting, photographic records, risk registers and compliance advice. Providers must be able to liaise with police, tenants and lessees where required and manage suitable reuse of pest-control by-products responsibly.
