What is being bought

Published requirement description

Staffordshire County Council is proposing to develop a framework agreement to provide "removal and encapsulation of asbestos-containing materials". The services to be tendered for comprise the full range of asbestos removal works including both licensed

and non-licensed activities.

Staffordshire County Council (SCC) will use the Contract Managing Agent, currently Entrust, for delivery of contracted works via this framework for properties maintained and controlled by the County Council.

The Contract Managing Agent will be responsible for the operational management of the Framework on behalf of the County Council.

NOTE: Where a supplier is currently awarded to IA2926 Asbestos Surveys and Air Monitoring, they cannot be awarded a spot on this Framework therefore are advised not to bid.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Asbestos Removal and Encapsulation Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
