Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nuclear Restoration Services Ltd has successfully completed the procurement process titled "Asbestos Support Contracts - HSE" within the decommissioning services category. The contract was awarded on 1 May 2025, following an open procedure above the threshold. The procurement process involved the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) providing independent verification assurance for asbestos analytical analysis and identification processes across the NRS fleet. The contract started on 1 April 2025 and will run until 31 March 2027. The services will be delivered across various locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and worldwide, with a contract value of £200,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses providing asbestos verification and analytical services, independent from commercial asbestos service providers and asbestos removal contractors. Companies with expertise in detailed asbestos fibre and bulk sample analysis, using techniques such as PCM, PLM, and SEM/EDXA, are well-suited to compete for such contracts. Partnering with HSE, the UK's primary accredited analytical resource, businesses can enhance their credibility and potentially access further high-profile government contracts.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Asbestos Support Contracts - HSE

Notice Description

Provision of independent verification assurance for asbestos analytical analysis and identification processes across the NRS fleet. The service provider will review and verify asbestos framework analytical results for: * Airborne asbestos fibre analysis counting carried out by phased contrast microscopy (PCM), following AM-REP-037 - NRS Specification for undertaking fibre counting assurance through enhanced microscopy (PCM and SEM/EDXA analysis); * Bulk sample identification analysis carried out by polarised light microscopy (PLM), following AM-REP-038 - NRS Specification for undertaking bulk analysis assurance through enhanced microscopy (Stereo, PLM & SEM/EDXA). Where anomalies are encountered the service provider will give detailed and candid feedback: * of air monitoring compliance, i.e., mounting of slides, quality of filter membranes, cure times of chemical enhancement process, artefacts etc * of bulk monitoring compliance, i.e., asbestos types, content quantification, difficulty assessment etc. The provider must be proven to be independent with no ties to commercial asbestos analytical provision providers for on-site services and/or ties to licensed asbestos removal contractor operations. Due to the need for unscrupulous credentials and independence the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) Research & Science Laboratory (RSL) is the only UK based facility able to completely satisfy the provision requirements. The HSE RSL is the primary UKAS accredited and truly independent analytical resource in the UK and is the regulatory authority for compliance.
