Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a contract titled "Contract for Asbestos Management, Surveys, Sampling and Technical Support". The opportunity focuses on the technical building-inspection and asbestos removal industry categories, covering the region of Uxbridge, United Kingdom. The process involves asbestos management across the Council’s housing, sheltered housing, and corporate properties over a three-year contract period slated to start on 17th January 2027. Potential participants are encouraged to engage in a pre-market exercise, with a milestone deadline set for 14th August 2026, aimed at assessing market capabilities and interest before the anticipated notice date on 24th August 2026. The procurement is above threshold, indicating a substantial contract value, with an estimated amount of £700,000 GBP.

This procurement presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in asbestos management, building inspection, and pollutant tracking services, particularly those structured to support local government needs. The arrangement of fixed fees complemented by call-offs against a Schedule of Rates allows for flexibility and potential scalability for the participating businesses. The procurement method aims to encourage competition among small and medium enterprises (SMEs), making it a prime opportunity for SMEs within this industry to establish or expand their client base within publicly procured services. Interested businesses would benefit from demonstrating a robust understanding of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the associated technical and safety guidelines required to ensure compliance and safety.
