Summary of the contracting process

The Association of North East Councils Limited, through NEPO, established a multi-supplier framework for stand-alone asbestos removal works. The requirement covers the safe removal of licensed and non-licensed asbestos-containing materials from domestic and non-domestic properties. Non-domestic sites include schools, offices, community centres, nurseries, car parks, cemeteries, shops, museums, theatres, libraries, markets, garages and historic buildings. The work covers Northumberland and Tyne & Wear, and Durham and Tees Valley. It is intended to complement the NEPO221 Demolition and Associated Services Framework. The procurement is classified as asbestos-removal works and services (CPV 45262660 and 90650000). The buyer is a regional central purchasing body serving public-sector properties across North East England.

The procurement was awarded through an open procedure, with the award decision dated 22 January 2024 and contracts signed on 3 April 2024. It is a framework with an estimated value of £4.5 million. Eight suppliers were awarded places: Clarkes Environmental, Enviraz (Scotland) Limited, Meta Limited, Nicol Associates, RE:GEN Solutions Limited, Rhodar Industrial Services Ltd, Safe Strip UK Ltd and Thompsons of Prudhoe Limited. Each recorded supplier contract has a value of £1.125 million. The four geographic and property-type lots were cancelled, but the combined framework award was active. Evaluation weighted quality at 50%, social value at 10% and price at 40%. Ten bids were received, including eight from SMEs. The framework period was amended to end on 24 January 2027, with a stated duration of 1,020 days.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for asbestos removal across both housing and varied non-domestic estates in North East England. A credible competitor would need to deliver safe systems of work for licensed and non-licensed asbestos-containing materials across a wide range of buildings and land, and operate across the relevant North East locations. The successful supplier group included six SMEs and two larger businesses, showing that the requirement can be met by specialist firms of different scales. Strong technical and operational capability would be essential, alongside the ability to evidence suitability and economic capacity. Bidders also needed to address quality and social value, not price alone, so future competitors should be able to demonstrate robust service delivery and meaningful wider community benefits.
