Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff University has concluded an open procurement process for the "Asbestos Consultancy and Removal/Remediation Framework," with an emphasis on asbestos-related services. This procurement falls under the industry category of services and involves operations mainly in Cardiff, represented by region UKL22 in the United Kingdom. The procurement process has completed its award stage, with the awards being active, and the resulting contracts began on 15th June 2026, lasting until 14th June 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030. The process adheres to Welsh devolved regulations and follows the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR2012), ensuring compliance with Health and Safety Executive guidelines. Two main lots were involved: asbestos consultancy services and asbestos removal/remediation services, each awarded to specific suppliers through a framework agreement methodology.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in asbestos services. Companies offering UKAS-accredited asbestos consultancy and removal services, compliant with the required health and safety standards, can find substantial potential in this framework. Suppliers with capabilities to handle emergency call-outs, survey analysis, air monitoring, and certified asbestos removal can benefit and expand their portfolio with Cardiff University as a client. The framework's structure allows for a primary supplier role and a reserve supplier, enhancing competitive advantage and consistent workflow opportunities within an established educational institution's framework.
