Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council has awarded a Framework Agreement for Asbestos Removal and Disposal Works, focusing on properties it manages, including homes, schools, libraries, and offices throughout Northumberland. This agreement, which was finalised on 9th July 2026 and valued at approximately £2.69 million gross, spans from 2026 to 2028 with potential extensions up to 2030. The procurement process, conducted through an open competition below the financial threshold, was divided into two lots: Licensed Asbestos Removal/Emergency Asbestos Removal and Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal. The awarded contract involved Industry Logic Limited, Safe Strip UK Limited, and Cabot Thermals Limited, operating within the works category in the UKC21 region. The tendering stage concluded on 13th February 2026, with the award phase leading up to the commencement of asbestos removal in April 2026.

This framework provides substantial business opportunities for SMEs specializing in asbestos removal services, highlighting potential for growth within the environmental services sector. Companies with capabilities in handling hazardous materials, compliance with health and safety regulations, and competitive pricing models are particularly well-suited for this contract. The agreement’s structure fosters competition, yet guarantees placements for only two top-ranked contractors per lot, providing stable work conditions and a predictable revenue stream. Participating firms must excel in delivering quality and timely services, as outlined in the framework’s award criteria, which emphasises a 60% quality and 40% price weighting. This focus on dual criteria ensures that only qualified and efficient contractors are selected to contribute to Northumberland's building safety and environmental aims.
