Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council procured asbestos surveying and air monitoring services for all properties and associated assets it manages. The scope covers domestic properties, commercial areas and other buildings across Rotherham and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber area. A single contractor is responsible for delivering the service, which supports building safety and compliance by identifying asbestos risks and monitoring air conditions during relevant work. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. Its classification is CPV 90650000, described in the source as asbestos removal services, although the stated requirement is for surveying and air monitoring rather than asbestos removal itself.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a further competition under Lot 1 of the Fusion21 Building Safety & Compliance Framework, using the framework’s other procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 6 January 2026 at 1pm. The award was made on 1 June 2026 to The Testing Lab PLC, for £1,191,800 excluding any stated tax treatment. The awarded contract period runs from 18 May 2026 to 17 May 2030. The procurement’s stated contract period was 9 March 2026 to 8 March 2030. The requirement was for one contractor and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot-by-lot split is recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for asbestos surveying and air monitoring across a council’s mixed property portfolio. A credible future competitor would need to provide both surveying and air-monitoring capability through a single service, with the capacity to cover domestic housing, commercial premises and other council assets. Experience of building safety and compliance work would be directly relevant, as would the operational ability to manage requirements across the Rotherham area and wider Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement route also shows the importance of access to, and experience of competing through, the Fusion21 Building Safety & Compliance Framework. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs.
