In plain English

Staffordshire County Council is setting up a framework agreement, a pre-approved list of suppliers, for asbestos surveys and air monitoring, worth an estimated £1,600,000. It is split into two lots: one for the Council and its partners, and one for Cannock Chase District Council's housing stock.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out refurbishment and demolition asbestos surveys, management surveys, reinspections and ad-hoc bulk sampling of asbestos materials. • Provide air monitoring, including emergency response, and four-stage clearance testing. • Hold UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17020 for survey and reinspection work, with laboratories holding ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for each relevant activity such as bulk identification, air sampling, fibre counting and four-stage clearance.

Lots

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The requirement for survey organisations to hold UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17020, and for laboratories to hold ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for each relevant activity, would most likely rule out a small business that does not already hold these accreditations.

Always check the tender documents.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
