In plain English
Gentoo Group, a public body that manages housing and operational properties, plans to appoint up to three pest control suppliers to a framework covering rodents, insects, birds and other infestations. The estimated value is £388,000, with an initial 24-month term and options to extend by two further 12-month periods. This is an early market engagement notice ahead of a future tender, not a live bid.
What the buyer wants
• Provide both reactive call-out treatments and planned preventative pest control across Gentoo's housing stock and operational properties • Deliver services that comply with relevant legislation, health and safety requirements, environmental standards and industry best practice • Register on the Central Digital Platform and use a share code when submitting tender documents through the Panacea portal
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not list specific qualifications, insurances or accreditations, but it does require suppliers to be suitably qualified and experienced and to register on the Central Digital Platform, so a business without these would likely be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
Where to apply
The notice doesn't name a website for bids. Ask the buyer how to apply, using the contact on the official notice.
