## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is planning regional integrated pest management services for Swansea Bay University Health Board and Hywel Dda University Health Board. The service will cover preventative and reactive pest control across a diverse healthcare estate, including acute and community hospitals, mental health units, community clinics, kitchens, waste compounds, external grounds, plant rooms and other high-risk or specialist areas. Sites will be classified according to risk. The planned service covers approximately 101 locations across Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. Hywel Dda University Health Board is leading the procurement process, with Swansea Bay University Health Board as a participating buyer. The work is classified as pest-control services (CPV 90922000).

This procurement is at the planning stage and the buyer has not yet invited tenders. One planned lot is intended, with participation identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The estimated value is £602,500 excluding VAT, or £723,000 including VAT, per annum; the contract duration is still to be confirmed. The buyer expects the service period to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032. Market engagement comprises a questionnaire, due by 23:59 on 17 September 2026, followed by a virtual Microsoft Teams event during the week commencing 28 September 2026. A future notice is expected on 12 October 2026.

This will suit established pest-management providers able to deliver both planned preventative work and responsive call-outs across a large, geographically dispersed healthcare estate. Relevant experience should include working in hospitals, clinics, mental health settings, kitchens, waste areas, plant rooms, external grounds and other environments where hygiene, safety and operational continuity are important. Suppliers should be able to assess and manage sites according to risk, maintain consistent service standards across approximately 101 locations, and provide sufficient regional coverage, trained staff and response capacity. Small and medium-sized businesses are specifically being considered in the planned lot structure. The market engagement is intended to gather views on practical barriers, including lotting, insurance, accreditation and other contract requirements, so capable local and regional providers should prepare informed feedback.

## Notice

Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) and Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB), collectively the South West Wales region (the Region), seek to appoint service providers to undertake Integrated Pest Management services across the respective health boards' sites. The contract will support a diverse estate portfolio, including acute hospitals, community hospitals, mental health units, community clinics, kitchens, waste compounds, external grounds, plant rooms, and other high risk or specialist areas. Preventative and reactive cover will be required, with sites classified based on risk. Carmarthenshire Sites: Approx 31 locations Pembrokeshire Sites: Approx 21 locations Ceredigion Sites: Approx 18 locations Swansea Sites: Approx 20 locations Neath Port Talbot Sites: Approx 11 locations The project is being led by both Health Boards, with HDUHB leading on the procurement process. Pre-Market Engagement (PME) will include two elements: 1. PME Questionnaire - to understand market interest and capacity, including testing appetite for lotting structure, and understanding any barriers that may prevent SMEs or local suppliers from participating in the procurement. The questionnaire will inform the procurement, including how NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) can reduce barriers by welcoming suggestions regarding lotting, insurance, accreditation and contract requirements. The questionnaire is for market engagement purposes only and will not be used to assess, score, pre-qualify or exclude suppliers from this or any future procurement process. 2. PME Event - a virtual event where interested bidders can attend to learn more about the opportunity, including the anticipated procurement timetable and opportunities for suppliers to seek clarification ahead of tender publication. Your input would be very much appreciated to help inform the future direction and service model for integrated pest management in the Region. Estimated value is per annum. Contract duration is to be confirmed. This exercise does not commit either Health Board to undertake any future procurement. Participation in this exercise is entirely voluntary and will not provide any advantage or disadvantage in any subsequent procurement process.
