Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved NHS Lanarkshire Health Board seeking services for asbestos surveying and sampling. This process falls under the services category and pertains to asbestos removal, which is classified under the CPV code 90650000. Located in Bothwell, United Kingdom, the contracting authority is a public body operating under the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978. The procurement employed an open procedure method and transitioned through multiple stages, culminating in the award stage on 7th May 2026, with the contract officially signed on 17th April 2026. The procurement process initially saw the tender period closing on 15th July 2025 after deadline extensions to allow bidders additional time to respond.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental or industrial services, particularly those focused on asbestos handling. Companies with competencies in quality service delivery and cost efficiency are particularly well-suited to compete, given the award criteria emphasising quality and cost. With a contract value over £388,904, ample scope exists for growth through long-term engagement, as well as options for acquiring further service-related extensions. The nature of the services suggests that smaller and foreign enterprises, which made up a significant portion of the bids, can leverage their expertise and competitive pricing to establish a foothold in the UK public procurement market.
