Summary of the contracting process

The University of Lincoln has concluded a procurement process for Asbestos Consultancy services, awarding a 2-year contract to Acorn Analytical Services Ltd. The contract commenced on 1st August 2025 and is scheduled to run until 31st July 2027, with potential extensions available until 2030. This limited competition procurement under the category of works and services involves activities such as building re-inspections, management of asbestos tasks, and technical inspection services. The primary operation location is in the UKF region, and the procurement was carried out below the threshold, indicating a limited competitive method.

This tender offers extensive opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in asbestos-related services and building consultancy. Businesses capable of delivering refurbishment and demolition surveys, as well as technical inspection and testing services, would find this contract beneficial. Additionally, the possibility to extend the contract provides a steady long-term engagement opportunity, offering potential collaborators a stable revenue stream. The University of Lincoln's involvement underscores a serious commitment to maintaining safe and compliant infrastructure, presenting a noteworthy opportunity for businesses adept at specialised consultancy in environmental safety and construction support services.
