Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned asbestos removal works on Levels 1 and 2 of the Moynihan building at St Albans City Hospital. The work is for the Trust’s hospital property and concerns removal of asbestos; it is classified as works rather than a supply or general service. The delivery site is St Albans City Hospital, in St Albans. The requirement relates to two building levels within the Moynihan building, rather than a hospital-wide programme. The Trust is the buyer and the work supports its management of the hospital estate. The contract concerns asbestos-removal work, not asbestos surveys, ongoing monitoring or unrelated building refurbishment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SCK Group Ltd. The Trust used a below-threshold limited competition, conducted in line with its Standing Financial Instructions. There was one lot, covering the works on both building levels. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026, with a period running from 12 October 2026 to 12 January 2027. Its value is £251,235 excluding VAT and £301,482 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the published procurement data, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed is not set out here.

For suppliers that undertake asbestos removal in occupied healthcare estates, this award shows a defined requirement at a hospital site: planned removal across two levels of a building, procured through a limited competition below the relevant threshold. A credible competitor for similar work would need to demonstrate the specialist capability to remove asbestos safely in a hospital environment, with the project management and workforce capacity to deliver a multi-level package within a short contract period. Experience coordinating work on an operational hospital estate would be relevant to showing that the supplier can manage site constraints and protect the Trust’s facilities and users. The selected supplier is a large company, indicating that a supplier with the capacity to take on a substantial specialist works package was appointed; the award does not state particular accreditations or technical selection requirements.
