Pest Control Products & Services
Framework Description
KCS Procurement Services' Pest Control Products & Services framework is a national agreement running until 31 January 2029. It has two lots: pest control products, such as traps, covers, sprays and baits; and pest control services, from rodent, insect and bird control to specialist treatments. It is a fixed framework rather than a DPS, and buyers call off by direct award or further competition.
Context & Use Case
Local authorities, NHS trusts, housing providers, schools and other public bodies use it to handle infestations in housing stock, kitchens, hospitals and public buildings. Typical needs include 24-hour emergency callouts, planned contracts for routine treatment, bird proofing, heat treatment, fumigation and CCTV surveys to find how pests are getting in. Councils with in-house pest teams use Lot 1 to buy products.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Pest control products (traps, covers, sprays and baits) Lot 2: Pest control services 24-hour treatment and emergency pest control Rodent, insect and bird control CCTV surveys, pest proofing and specialist treatments Heat treatments, fumigation and disinfection
Lots
Lot 1: Pest Control Products; Lot 2: Pest Control Services
Who Can Apply
Suits pest control contractors with recognised trade association membership, licensing and insurance, and suppliers of professional pest control products. Applications for this framework are closed, so firms not appointed cannot join until KCS re-tenders, likely around 31 January 2029. Appointed suppliers win work through direct awards and further competitions.
Buyer Benefits
Pest problems in housing, schools and hospitals need fast action, so buyers value a route to accredited contractors without a tender. Separate product and service lots let councils with in-house teams buy materials while others outsource treatment, and direct award suits emergency jobs.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should promote emergency response times and specialist treatments to housing and NHS buyers, and be ready for further competitions on planned contracts. Others can explore sub-contracting with appointed suppliers and should keep trade association membership, insurance and public sector references current for the re-tender expected before 31 January 2029.
