Summary of the contracting process

River Clyde Homes has recently completed the procurement process for their "Asbestos Surveying, Sampling & Analytical Services" project within the housing and community amenities sector, located in Greenock, Scotland (UKM83 region). As of 3rd August 2026, the contract was officially awarded to Environmental Essentials Ltd. Using an open procedure, the tender period concluded on 17th April 2026, with contract award and activity commencing shortly thereafter. The procurement method was aimed at selecting a qualified contractor to deliver essential asbestos-related services in compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and other pertinent legislation, and it was made clear that a separate service for asbestos removal will be procured independently. The estimated contract value is £400,000, highlighting significant engagement with potential suppliers, as indicated by six electronic submissions.

This procurement presents promising opportunities for businesses involved in environmental safety and construction services, particularly those specialising in asbestos management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) demonstrated strong competition by submitting the majority of bids. Companies capable of offering high standards of contract management and competitive pricing stood better chances of success, given the award criteria focusing 45% on quality and 30% on price. The project also emphasizes community benefits in Inverclyde, ensuring businesses with robust community engagement strategies can leverage additional competitive advantages. Businesses well-suited to compete in such tenders are those with adept expertise in environmental safety measures, proficient contract management capabilities, and a commitment to delivering community-based value alongside their technical offerings.

Lot Information

Lot 1

RCH are seeking to appoint a highly competent and experienced contractor to undertake Ad-Hoc Asbestos Surveying Sampling & Analytical Services/Remedial works within our properties. All work must be carried out in accordance with the approved codes of practice Associated with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 together with the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and all other relevant legislation. Bidders should be aware that RCH are also in the process of procuring an Asbestos Removal contract. As the HSE strongly recommend that these two distinct services are carried out by separate companies, the same company will not be awarded both contracts. So, should a company bid for both contracts, and become the preferred bidder for both, they will be given the choice as to which contract they want to undertake. The second placed bidder will be awarded the remaining contract.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Renewal: RCH may elect to extend any resultant agreement for up to a period of 2, 12 month periods, subject to the agreement of the successful bidder.
