Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Pickering & Ferens Homes bought asbestos survey services for properties and communal or other non-domestic spaces across England. The work covers management surveys, re-inspection surveys, and refurbishment and demolition surveys, carried out in agreed domestic properties and in communal areas or non-domestic spaces when instructed by the employer. This is a technical testing, building services and survey services requirement. The contract is structured as a JCT measured term arrangement, supporting the buyer’s property management and refurbishment needs through scheduled and instructed asbestos surveying activity. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include specialist asbestos surveying consultancies and testing providers able to work across housing stock, communal facilities and other buildings in England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to The TestingLab Plc on 20 July 2026. Pickering & Ferens Homes used a direct award from Lot 2, Asbestos Survey Services, of the EN:Procure GEN4 Asbestos, Demolition and Water Hygiene Framework. The contract value is £94,132 including the stated award value, with a minimum estimated value of £0.01. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2030, with a one-year extension option. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at noon. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the framework’s direct-award route rather than a new open competition.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates continuing demand from Pickering & Ferens Homes for a broad asbestos surveying capability across occupied domestic properties, communal areas and non-domestic spaces. A credible future competitor would need to deliver management, re-inspection, and refurbishment and demolition surveys, respond to instructions across a dispersed property portfolio, and provide reliable reporting suitable for housing management, maintenance and refurbishment decisions. Experience of measured-term service delivery and the ability to plan recurring inspections while handling instructed work would be commercially relevant. Familiarity with the EN:Procure asbestos-related framework route would also matter, as this purchase was made by direct award from its asbestos survey services lot. SMEs were explicitly considered suitable for the requirement.
