Summary of the contracting process

The West Lothian Council has completed the procurement process for the "Asbestos Services Framework," focusing on asbestos surveying, analytics, and removal services. The framework is categorised under the works industry, specifically asbestos-removal work, and pertains to the properties of the West Lothian Council in the UKM78 region. The procurement process reached the award stage on 25th July 2025, following an open procedure, which commenced with the tender phase on 24th March 2025 and was scheduled to culminate with bid evaluations starting on 2nd May 2025. This framework was designed as a three-lot arrangement, inviting bids from suppliers who could meet stringent health and safety compliance standards, including adherence to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in asbestos-related services. Companies that provide asbestos surveying, analytics, and removal expertise, particularly those capable of maintaining the high safety and quality standards required, are well-suited to participate in such tenders. The procurement framework allows for business growth through a potential extensive contract duration, with options for renewal extending up to two years beyond the initial period. Successful suppliers can expand their portfolio within the public sector, thus solidifying their market presence while ensuring a stable revenue stream. SMEs like Acorn Analytical Services and Rhodar Industrial Services, which have been contracted under this framework, exemplify the business growth potential embedded in such substantial procurement opportunities.
