Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Lancashire Borough Council procured asbestos survey and testing services for its requirements across England. The work falls within asbestos-related services and is intended to support the identification and assessment of asbestos through surveys and testing. The council is the buying organisation and the service covers delivery throughout England. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The requirement is relevant to businesses that undertake asbestos surveys, sampling and associated testing, including specialist environmental or building-safety service providers. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of those types were considered capable of participating in the service requirement.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Bids were due by 13 March 2026, and the award decision was made on 14 April 2026. Life Environmental Services Ltd was selected for the contract at an awarded value of £750,000. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2029. The published requirement had the same estimated value of £750,000. The procurement was evaluated through an open competitive process for asbestos survey and testing services. West Lancashire Borough Council is the buyer, and the award is active. The outcome identifies one supplier for the requirement rather than separate awards or lot-specific suppliers.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from West Lancashire Borough Council for a substantial, multi-year asbestos surveying and testing service across England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability to plan and deliver asbestos surveys, obtain representative samples, carry out testing, and provide reliable results for the council’s operational needs. The successful supplier was a large organisation, while the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This suggests that specialist smaller providers could be relevant if they can evidence appropriate technical competence, dependable service capacity and the ability to support a geographically broad public-sector requirement.
