Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney commissioned asbestos consultancy for three residential sites in De Beauvoir Town: St Martins Court on Hertford Road, Benyon Court on Balmes Road and St Brelades Court, also on Balmes Road. The work is to review existing asbestos information, carry out the necessary site inspections and produce comprehensive, project-specific scopes of work and asbestos remediation specifications. These specifications are intended to support competitive tendering by specialist asbestos removal contractors. The properties are post-war housing estates and purpose-built apartment blocks within an established urban residential area. The requirement is consultancy and technical specification work, rather than the physical removal of asbestos.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to LIFE Environmental Services Limited. Hackney used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 26 April 2027. Its value is £26,775 excluding VAT (£32,130 including VAT). There is one lot covering the consultancy requirement across the three residential sites. The stated evaluation basis and eligibility requirements are not set out in the available process details.

This award shows Hackney’s demand for specialist asbestos consultancy to prepare remediation scopes and specifications for residential properties, enabling separate removal contractors to tender for the physical works. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need qualified, experienced asbestos consultants able to assess existing asbestos records, conduct site inspections across multiple occupied or managed housing locations, and translate findings into clear, project-specific specifications suitable for competitive procurement. The work requires the combination of practical inspection capability and technical specification-writing, rather than asbestos removal delivery. The successful supplier was classified as an SME, demonstrating that a smaller specialist provider was selected for this requirement. Experience working in post-war housing estates and apartment blocks would be relevant to the property context described.
