Summary of the contracting process

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine has completed the procurement process for a Licenced Asbestos Removal Contractor (LARC) framework, effective from 31 October 2025, with the contract lasting until 31 August 2028. The procurement, conducted through an open competitive flexible procedure, aimed to select up to three contractors to undertake asbestos removal services primarily at London premises with potential work at MRC units in The Gambia and Uganda. The framework will allow for the assignment of work through direct awards for emergency tasks or mini competitions for planned activities, with plans to reopen for additional competition in 2028, 2030, and 2033. This procurement falls under the category of services and works as per CPV code 90650000 and is above the threshold covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). The buyer is a public authority within the sub-central government sector, ensuring adherence to legislative requirements.

This framework provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for businesses specialising in asbestos removal services. Large-scale enterprises like Rhodar Industrial Services Ltd, Erith Contractors Limited, and Woods Building Services Limited have been awarded contracts, enhancing their portfolio through long-term project engagements supported by a gross budget of 3.6 million GBP. The strategic method of assigning work, either through direct awards or mini competitions, opens avenues for companies to participate in varied projects, catering to emergency and planned maintenance needs. Businesses capable of meeting the technical and economic criteria specified during the tender process, and those prepared to offer sustainable solutions, will find this framework conducive to expanding their reach in domestic and international markets.
