Summary of the contracting process

The Guinness Partnership Limited procured national asbestos services and works across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Lot 1 covered cyclical asbestos surveys and re-inspections, ad hoc sampling for planned, vacant and responsive works, asset-management records, air monitoring after abatement, and incident triage. Lot 2 covered licensed, notifiable non-licensed and non-licensed asbestos abatement for planned, vacant and responsive works, including completion packs. The procurement combined technical testing, laboratory and environmental services with asbestos-removal work. It was bought by The Guinness Partnership Limited for delivery across its national estate.

This completed open procedure was awarded on 2 March 2026, with contracts signed for both lots. Lot 1, asbestos surveying and testing, was awarded to Pennington Choices Limited for £3,520,000 gross, with a contract from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029 and options for two further one-year extensions to 31 May 2031. Lot 2, asbestos abatement works, was awarded to Woods Building Services Limited trading as AA Woods for £2,437,000 gross, with a contract from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029 and options for two further one-year extensions, with a maximum extent date of 3 May 2031. Bids were evaluated on quality at 60% and cost at 40%; suppliers could bid for both lots but receive no more than one.

This requirement suits established national asbestos specialists able to combine planned and reactive delivery across a wide geography. Surveying and testing providers would need ISO/IEC 17020 for asbestos inspection and surveying, ISO/IEC 17025 for asbestos testing and analysis, plus ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 9001. Abatement contractors would need an HSE asbestos licence under Regulation 8 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, held for at least two years, alongside ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 9001. Credible competitors would also need evidence of three relevant national contracts, covering comparable size, scope, geography and planned and reactive activities, or equivalent technical capacity. Financial readiness includes specified turnover, supplier-risk assessment and substantial employers’, public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
