Summary of the contracting process

The West Northamptonshire Council has concluded its procurement process for an asbestos framework agreement, aimed at securing services across its property portfolio. This tender, titled "West Northamptonshire Council Asbestos Framework," falls under the "works" category with a focus on asbestos-removal work. Located in Northampton, the initiative involved an open procurement procedure to ensure broad market access. The framework was divided into two lots: Lot 1, focusing on asbestos surveying and consultancy services, and Lot 2, related to licensed asbestos removal work. The procurement process, now at the award stage, concluded on 1st September 2025, following the signing of contracts on 4th December 2024, each valued at £10 million. While both lots were initially marked active, they were later determined as cancelled.

This contract provides significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in asbestos management services, such as surveys, consultations, and removal, to participate in securing substantial public sector projects. Businesses with expertise in regulatory compliance, quality service delivery, and competitive pricing strategies would be well-positioned to benefit from this framework. With West Northamptonshire Council's emphasis on transparency, competition, and engaging experienced suppliers, companies meeting these criteria stand to gain a competitive edge and potentially expand their business footprint in the public procurement sector.
