Summary of the contracting process

Stevenage Borough Council appointed a provider to manage asbestos, legionella and mould risks in its buildings. The requirement covers specialist management services addressing these three hazards, with delivery in Stevenage. The service sits within housing and property compliance, combining hazardous-materials management with prevention and control of legionella and mould. The council used the Northern Housing Consortium’s framework to make the appointment. The requirement is classified as a service, described under cleaning and sanitation services and related work (CPV 90600000).

The procurement is complete and Ductclean (UK) Ltd trading as DCUK FM was selected. The award was made on 2 October 2026. The contract runs from 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2029, with an option to extend by one further year. Its stated value is £800,000. The council made a selective call-off from the Northern Housing Consortium’s Asbestos, Legionella and Mould Management Framework; this was not a new open competition. The published information describes a single provider appointment and gives no separate lot structure or evaluation criteria. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable to participate.

This appointment demonstrates demand from Stevenage Borough Council for a single provider able to manage asbestos, legionella and mould risks across its buildings through a housing-sector framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need integrated capability across all three areas, rather than a service limited to one hazard, and the capacity to deliver an ongoing, multi-year management service. The successful supplier, Ductclean (UK) Ltd trading as DCUK FM, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller business secured this award. The procurement also identified SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable participants. The route used was the Northern Housing Consortium framework, so framework access and the ability to meet its relevant requirements would be important to competing for this buyer’s comparable work. No specific accreditations or technical thresholds are stated in the available procurement details.
