Tender: Integrated Pest Control Services across East Lancashire Hospitals, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trusts

About

The Authorities are seeking a supplier for a comprehensive, resilient and integrated pest control service across the healthcare estate operated by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust. The service must maintain pest-free environments to support safe patient care by protecting patients, staff, visitors and assets, recognising that pest incidents can affect patient safety, infection prevention and control, service continuity, regulatory compliance and organisational reputation. The supplier must adopt a proactive, intelligence-led and preventative approach grounded in Integrated Pest Management (IPM), working with Estates, Facilities and Infection Prevention and Control teams to deliver routine monitoring, planned preventative maintenance, rapid reactive response, specialist technical support, environmental proofing recommendations and targeted interventions that minimise environmental impact and reduce reliance on chemical treatments. The service must provide consistent standards across all Trust locations while remaining flexible for site-specific risks, seasonal variations, operational pressures and the differing requirements of acute, community and non-clinical settings, supported by effective governance, reporting and continuous improvement aligned with NHS standards and regulatory requirements.
