Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council is currently undertaking a public procurement process for the NCC1682 Framework Agreement aimed at Asbestos Removal & Disposal Works. This tender, with an ID of OPEN2026109, focuses on asbestos removal from various council-controlled buildings throughout Northumberland, such as homes, schools, and offices. The procurement falls under the 'works' category, specifically asbestos-removal work (CPV 45262660). The framework targets sub-central public authority services, offering a below-threshold competition for interested contractors. As of the latest update on 22nd January 2026, the tender remains active with an enquiry period deadline of 30th January 2026, and a submission deadline set for 13th February 2026 at 12:00 PM.

This tender provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and VCSEs as they are eligible and encouraged to participate. By joining this framework, businesses specialising in asbestos removal, whether licensed or non-licensed, can secure a substantial volume of work, given the potential for multiple projects over the framework's contract period extending from April 2026 to April 2028, with possible extensions. The framework is structured into two lots, allowing companies to target specific areas of expertise, bolstering their profiles and increasing business prospects. With an estimated total contract value of £1.92 million, this procurement is an attractive prospect for enterprises seeking to expand their service offerings in the environmental safety sector.
