01What changed
A search of the Government e-Marketplace on 27 October 2026 showed at least 20 open service bids for pest control, rodent control or disinfestation closing between 2 and 19 November 2026. Buyers include Indian Railways, GAIL, POWERGRID, ESIC, the Airports Authority, BPCL, the Department of Space and the Department of Fertilizers.
One example: GB Pant Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Delhi (bid GEM/2026/B/8118331) wants daily bed bug, rodent, termite, vector, cockroach and ant control for two years; bidders need a minimum average annual turnover of ₹30 lakh, and the bid closes on 7 November 2026 at 3 pm.
02Why it matters
Government contracts usually run for one to two years, so one win means steady work at a fixed site. All of these bids close within about three weeks, and each needs an active GeM seller registration, turnover proof and past-experience documents ready in advance.
