Summary of the contracting process

The University of Bedfordshire is seeking an asbestos management and compliance service for its estate. The work is classified as asbestos removal services (CPV 90650000), although the stated requirement is broader: asbestos management and compliance. Delivery locations are in Luton and elsewhere in Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas of eastern and south-east England. This is a single-lot service contract, rather than a purchase of goods or a construction project. Suppliers specialising in asbestos management, compliance and related removal services should assess the detailed tender documents to understand the precise service requirements and sites covered.

The University invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 16 November 2026 at 12:00, and the offer deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions, potentially taking it to 31 December 2031. The stated estimated value is £141,666 excluding VAT (£170,000 including VAT). The award criteria refer bidders to the tender documents. Offers were to be submitted electronically, despite the recorded electronic submission policy stating that electronic submission was not allowed; suppliers should check the tender documents for the applicable submission arrangements.

This opportunity is best suited to suppliers able to deliver asbestos management and compliance services across a university estate, with the expertise and operational capacity to cover locations in Bedfordshire and surrounding areas. Asbestos removal capability is relevant to the stated service classification, alongside the ability to manage compliance requirements. The multi-year service and potential extensions may suit a provider able to maintain consistent delivery over several years. The procurement does not publish particular certifications, staff qualifications, minimum experience thresholds or other technical and financial selection conditions in the available details, so suppliers should review the tender documents to establish the specific standards and evidence required before deciding whether to bid.
