Award of Concession Contract for Pest Control Services Across Three District Councils

About

Thanet District Council awarded a contract to Monitor Pest Control Ltd for the operation of pest control services across Dover District Council, Folkestone & Hythe District Council, and Thanet District Council.

The concession contract, valued at AUD 120,000, was anticipated to run from 1 October 2018 until 30 September 2021, with the possibility of a further one-year extension.

The contractor was to undertake all pest control treatment and administration of calls, taking payments directly from residents as agreed in the pricing schedule, with no payments made from the councils to the contractor.

In exchange, the councils were to promote the contractor via their websites and relevant departments, and the contractor was to provide a fixed-price pest control service to residents alongside additional services to the councils, including free treatments of mosquito larvae and/or brown tailed moths (up to four officer days per council per annum), educational work/presentations to forums (up to two officer days per council per annum), and maintenance of up to 50 bait boxes.
