Folkestone and Hythe District Council (FHDC) on behalf of itself and Dover District Council and Thanet District Council wishes to select and appoint a suitable supplier for the provision of pest control services and invites organisations to submit a tender to meet the councils' requirements. This tender will be conducted using a one-stage 'open' procedure. This is a joint tender exercise between Folkestone and Hythe District Council, Dover District Council, and Thanet District Council. A single shared supplier will be selected for all three councils, but awarded a separate contract by each council individually. The contract is anticipated to start 4 January 2027 and continue for a period of 3 years (with the option to extend for two further periods of 12 months each i.e. 3+1+1 years). The estimated contract values for the initial 3-year term excluding VAT are £123,000 for Dover District Council, £69,000 for Folkestone and Hythe District Council, and £129,000 for Thanet District Council (total £321,000 excl. VAT). The estimated contract values for the full 5-year term (including allowance for inflation) excluding VAT are £229,600 for Dover District Council, £128,800 for Folkestone and Hythe District Council, and £240,800 for Thanet District Council (total rounded to £600,000 excl. VAT).
