Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an asbestos management survey service. The requirement falls within health and safety consultancy services and is intended to support the Trust’s management of asbestos-related risks. This is a specialist consultancy assignment rather than a supply of equipment or construction works. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based in Hertfordshire, with the procurement managed by the Trust itself. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those that provide asbestos management surveys and associated health and safety consultancy to public-sector or healthcare organisations. The published scope identifies one requirement under the overall contract, centred on surveying and advising on asbestos management.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition processed through a waiver under the Trust’s standing financial instructions. Tetra Consulting Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 26 February 2027. Its value is £25,390 excluding VAT, or £30,468 including VAT. The award covered a single lot and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition. The information records the commercial outcome and contract arrangements, but does not set out a scored evaluation breakdown or separate award date.

This procurement is useful market evidence for firms supplying asbestos management surveys and health and safety consultancy to NHS bodies. It shows that Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust purchases a defined, specialist survey service through a below-threshold limited route, with the work awarded to a large consultancy. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable technical expertise in asbestos surveying, the ability to produce advice that supports an NHS trust’s risk-management duties, and sufficient operational capacity to deliver a time-bound assignment. Experience of working with complex healthcare estates and public-sector governance would help a supplier compete effectively, although the published requirement does not identify particular accreditations or staff qualifications.
