Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen is procuring services for asbestos removal, disposal and analytical work through a ranked framework for the university and its customers. The requirement is divided into two lots: asbestos removal and disposal, and asbestos analyst services. Suppliers may bid for both lots, but a supplier appointed to one lot cannot be considered for the other because responsibility for removal and analysis must be separate. The work covers the University of Aberdeen’s requirements in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. The removal lot includes asbestos-removal work and disposal. The analyst lot covers asbestos analyst services supporting the planned and responsive management of asbestos-related work. This is a services procurement, suited to specialist asbestos contractors and independent asbestos analysis providers.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure for a framework agreement. Up to four suppliers may be appointed, with a maximum of one lot awarded to each supplier. Bids had to be submitted electronically in English by 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The evaluation and public bid opening were scheduled for the same time. Each lot has a contract period of 720 days, with two optional 12-month extensions. The framework includes planned work and ad hoc requirements as they arise; variants are not allowed. Each lot is evaluated on 70% technical quality and 30% price. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, while electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits established asbestos-removal contractors able to carry out removal and disposal work, and specialist asbestos analyst organisations able to provide analytical services independently of removal contractors. Suppliers should be prepared to support both planned programmes and responsive, ad hoc requirements for a university estate and its customers. The framework structure may suit businesses with the operational capacity to deliver recurring work across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, while the separation of lots allows removal and analytical specialists to compete for their relevant service. Businesses considering both lots should note that appointment to one prevents appointment to the other, so the operating model, independence and proposed allocation of responsibility will be important. The technical quality weighting makes demonstrated technical capability central to competition.
