Ipswich Borough Council has approved a £140,000 contract for pest control services to be provided by Millenium Pest Control.
The 24-month contract includes an option to extend for a further 12 months and covers maintenance and contracts, major capital schemes, housing, and other areas.
The decision followed a procurement exercise via Suffolk Sourcing (IBC/17561).
Millenium Pest Control was selected after submitting the most economically advantageous tender and the lowest bid. The evaluation criteria were weighted 60% on price and 40% on quality.
This call-off contract, which involves no service frequency or value commitment, was made to ensure that pest control services can be delivered as needed. The decision, classified as non-key, affects all wards within Ipswich Borough.
The notice of the proposed decision was first published on 19 June 2024, and the decision was due by officer decision on 17 June 2024. The council's recommendations have now been approved.
