Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council procured specialist asbestos consultancy services for its non-school properties. The requirement covers asbestos management plans, including preparing plans for consultant review, cleansing and sense-checking asbestos data, and making technical recommendations where necessary. The wider requirement is described as embedded asbestos consultancy, including asbestos data management and project management for asbestos works. This is a professional technical inspection and testing service, delivered across Hertfordshire in support of the council’s non-school property portfolio. It is relevant to firms that advise public-sector property owners on asbestos management, maintain and quality-assure asbestos records, interpret survey and management-plan data, and provide technical oversight of asbestos-related works.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hertfordshire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and awarded to DAH CONSULTANTS LIMITED, an SME. The active contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £41,250. The requirement was handled as a single lot. The award covers services classified as technical inspection and testing, with delivery in Hertfordshire. The published outcome records one active award and one active contract. The process therefore demonstrates a completed, low-value procurement route for a defined asbestos data and management requirement rather than a competitive tender with multiple bids or scored proposals.

For a supplier assessing future work with Hertfordshire County Council, this procurement indicates demand for a focused asbestos consultancy capability covering non-school public buildings. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in asbestos management plans, asbestos data cleansing and validation, technical review of property records, and clear recommendations for managing identified risks. The requirement also points to value in combining consultancy with project management for asbestos works, rather than offering inspection activity alone. Relevant firms would be able to work accurately across a council property portfolio, turn imperfect or inconsistent asbestos information into usable management records, and provide defensible technical advice to a public-sector client. The awarded supplier’s SME status shows that this type of specialist requirement can suit a focused consultancy.
