Published requirement descriptionThis Contract Award Notice is issued by Tai Tarian in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and confirms the award of a Framework for Asbestos Services.
The Framework has been established to support the delivery of Tai Tarian's Asbestos Management and Remediation Programme across its property portfolio of over 9,000 properties, comprising domestic housing, flats and sheltered housing complexes.
The procurement was conducted using the Open Procedure and was divided into the following Lots:
- Lot 1 – Licensed and Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal
- Lot 2 – Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal
- Lot 3 – Asbestos Surveying, Sampling and Air Testing/Monitoring
The Most Advantageous Tender(s) have been appointed to each Lot in accordance with the published procurement documents and evaluation methodology. Call-off contracts will be awarded in accordance with the terms of the Framework Agreement.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 5 Jun 2030, 23:59 BST.
- No preliminary market engagement: No additional preliminary market engagement has been undertaken for this Procurement. Tai Tarian has an established understanding of the relevant market for asbestos services, supported by its previous and ongoing contractual arrangements for similar services and by the availability of a mature and competitive supplier market. The requirements of this Framework are well understood, clearly specified, and based on established industry standards and regulatory requirements. Tai Tarian has therefore determined that undertaking further supplier specific preliminary market engagement was not necessary or proportionate for the purposes of designing this Procurement or preparing the tender documentation. This approach is considered consistent with section 16 of the Procurement Act 2023 and does not disadvantage or distort competition, as all suppliers are provided with the same information and opportunity to participate through the Open Procedure.

- 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 Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 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.
