In plain English

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council wants to appoint two separate contractors to manage asbestos across its council housing (about 21,062 properties) and its other buildings such as schools, offices and leisure centres. Lot 1 covers asbestos surveys, testing and consultancy, while Lot 2 covers the physical removal of asbestos, including the scaffolding needed for that work. The total estimated value is £3,757,000, and one company cannot win both lots.

What the buyer wants

• Lot 1: asbestos surveys, lab sample analysis through a UKAS-accredited laboratory, air monitoring, clearance certificates, specification writing and out-of-hours emergency response, plus asbestos awareness training for staff and residents. • Lot 2: licensed and non-licensed asbestos removal, encapsulation and remediation, licensed scaffolding to BS EN 12811-1, and emergency call-out cover, all with hazardous waste disposed of under CAR 2012 and the HSE ACoP L143. • Both lots: a quality management system certified to ISO 9001, and compliance with CAR 2012 notification rules, including ASB5 where licensable work applies.

Lots

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A small business without the HSE asbestos licence needed for Lot 2, without ISO 9001 certification, or without access to a UKAS-accredited laboratory and 24-hour emergency capacity would most likely be excluded from the tender.
