Summary of the contracting process

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine procured Phase 4 trench removal, including licensed asbestos removal services and associated works. The project concerns trench removal at the School’s site in London. The requirement was competed under the School’s framework for licensed asbestos removal contractors, which covers reactive and emergency work as well as planned works and project activities. This specific contract is for the Phase 4 trench-removal requirement; the wider framework provides the route for allocating other work to its appointed contractors.

The procurement is complete: the School awarded the contract to Woods Building Services Limited, Erith Contractors Limited and Rhodar Industrial Services Ltd. The award was made on 8 August 2025, and the contract was signed on 8 September 2026. The specific contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 8 January 2027 and is valued at £236,502 excluding VAT (£283,802 including VAT). The tender used an open competitive flexible procedure, with initial participation checks followed by an invitation to tender. One lot was evaluated on quality and cost, weighted 60% and 40% respectively. The framework allows work to be allocated by direct award for reactive or emergency needs, or mini-competition for planned work and projects.

This award demonstrates demand from the School for specialist, licensed asbestos removal contractors able to carry out trench removal and related works in London. Suppliers competing for comparable requirements would need the technical and economic capacity to pass participation checks, followed by the ability to submit a strong, costed technical proposal: quality carried more weight than cost in this evaluation. The framework’s mix of planned project work and reactive or emergency assignments favours firms able to respond across both delivery routes. Framework performance expectations include attending annual review meetings, providing written responses to issues within 48 hours of notification, responding to mini-competitions and demonstrating sustainability credentials. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, although no SMEs reached the final tender stage.
