Summary
Machine-generated summaryDublin City Council is establishing a Single Operator Framework Agreement for the provision of pest control services. The Framework will run for four years. An initial contract covers pest control services for the Council's swimming pools, leisure facilities, and community and recreation centres, for a period of four years with the option to extend by up to two further annual periods. The extension option is at the sole discretion of Dublin City Council. Additional contracts may be awarded by other departments within Dublin City Council, and a contract may be awarded beyond the duration of the Framework Agreement. The project is subject to funding, and documentation is available from www.etenders.gov.ie.

Expected award price
- likely award for this notice, from its published estimate of €9,900,000
- €8.1M to €9.9M
Comparable awards in this country and sector came in at a median of 100% of their published estimate, half of them between 82% and 100%, based on 99 awards of the last 3 years.
Each award is compared with the estimate of the same lots, framework agreements excluded. A published estimate may include options and renewals, so an award under it is not always a discount.
