KCHFT are looking for a Contractor to provide a total Pest Control Service to KCHFT in order to keep the sites free from rodents, insects and other pests.

This is an activity-based contract and the contract value stated within this notice represents an estimated value only. Actual contract spend will be determined by the volume of activity commissioned and delivered and may therefore be higher or lower than the value indicated.
