Pest Control Services Concession 2027-30 (FH2610191)
The contract covers comprehensive pest control services for Folkestone and Hythe District Council, Dover District Council and Thanet District Council, which are local government authorities in Kent. A single supplier will provide the services across all three councils, with each council entering into a separate contract, covering the treatment and control of pests in the councils’ operational areas in accordance with their requirements and applicable service standards. The anticipated start date is 4 January 2027, with an initial three-year term and options to extend for two further 12-month periods, giving a potential five-year duration. Delivery is required across the councils’ areas in the UKJ44 region of the United Kingdom. The estimated value is £321,000 excluding VAT for the initial three years and approximately £600,000 excluding VAT over the full five-year term, including inflation. The critical qualification is the ability to meet the combined requirements of all three councils as one shared supplier under the special regime contract.
