Summary of the contracting process

Adra (Tai) Cyf, a public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations, is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process involving asbestos surveying and removal services. The procurement process is intended to establish a framework for high-quality and compliant services to ensure resident safety. Located in Bangor, with activities spanning several regions within the United Kingdom, this planning exercise is currently open for expressions of interest, with a submission deadline on 26th January 2026. The potential contract period is from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2028 and may extend further. The main procurement category is services, fitting within the asbestos-removal industry, and it is a significant contract opportunity with a value exceeding the threshold at £610,000 gross.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses proficient in asbestos-related services to compete for a lucrative framework agreement. It is particularly well-suited for SMEs, as indicated by the suitability criteria, and those possessing appropriate accreditation such as ISO17020 and ISO17025. Businesses with in-house surveyors or dedicated laboratories will likely have a competitive edge in meeting framework requirements. Engaging in this preliminary market engagement allows businesses to express interest and potentially shape the procurement strategy, though it does not confer an advantage in the subsequent tendering stages. The framework is structured into two lots, fostering focused expertise, with businesses permitted to apply for only one lot, either surveying or removals.
