Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council is seeking one contractor for asbestos surveying and analytical services across Wrexham County Borough. The work covers Council-owned or managed buildings, including schools, commercial premises, community centres and public buildings, as well as some private properties managed by the Council. Services include surveys and reinspections of domestic and non-domestic properties, demolition and refurbishment surveys, bulk sampling and analysis, reassurance air testing, analytical work and site supervision during asbestos removal, water absorption testing, management plans and reports, consultancy advice, and asbestos awareness training. This contract is for surveys and related analytical services; asbestos removal itself is outside its scope. The work may take place at different sites throughout the borough.

The Council invited offers through an open procedure. The contract is for one contractor and is not divided into lots. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 13 November 2026 at 17:00, and the enquiry deadline was 6 November 2026 at 17:00. The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2031, with an option to extend by two years, to 31 January 2033. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). Evaluation gives quality a 60% weighting and price 40%. Economic and technical selection criteria apply, with further detail set out in the tender documents. The Council expects work volumes to fluctuate, and the successful contractor will be unable to bid for the Council’s planned asbestos removal services contract.

This opportunity suits asbestos surveying and analytical specialists able to deliver the work directly: subcontracting is not permitted. Suppliers need to cover a broad range of services, including domestic and non-domestic surveys, demolition and refurbishment surveys, sampling and laboratory analysis, air testing, and site supervision of asbestos removal by others. The requirement also spans water absorption testing, management plans, technical reporting, consultancy and asbestos awareness training. Bidders should be equipped to work across multiple property types and locations throughout Wrexham County Borough, and to adjust staffing and service capacity as work orders rise or fall. The Council’s technical and economic selection requirements are detailed in the tender documents. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable to compete. Suppliers within the same business group as the successful contractor will also be excluded from bidding for the planned asbestos removal contract.
