C454593
Description
The Authorities require the provision of a comprehensive, resilient and integrated pest control service across a diverse healthcare estate comprising acute hospitals, community hospitals, outpatient facilities, administrative locations and specialist healthcare environments operated by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. The service will support the delivery of safe patient care by maintaining pest-free environments that protect patients, staff, visitors and assets from the risks associated with pest activity.
The Supplier shall recognise the unique operational challenges of NHS healthcare environments, where pest incidents can have a direct impact on patient safety, infection prevention and control (IPC), service continuity, regulatory compliance and organisational reputation. The Supplier shall therefore adopt a proactive, intelligence-led and preventative approach to pest management, ensuring that emerging risks are identified and addressed before they escalate into infestations or operational disruptions.
Working in partnership with Estates, Facilities, Infection Prevention and Control teams and other key stakeholders, the Supplier shall deliver a coordinated service that combines routine monitoring, planned preventative maintenance, rapid reactive response, specialist technical support and strategic pest risk management. The service shall be underpinned by Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, utilising data analysis, environmental assessment, proofing recommendations and targeted interventions to achieve sustainable pest control outcomes while minimising environmental impact and reducing reliance on chemical treatments.
The Supplier shall provide consistent standards of service across all Trust locations while retaining sufficient flexibility to accommodate site-specific risks, seasonal variations, operational pressures and the differing requirements of acute, community and non-clinical settings. Through effective governance, reporting and continuous improvement, the Supplier shall support the Authorities in maintaining compliant, safe and welcoming healthcare environments aligned with NHS standards, regulatory requirements and best practice.
