Summary of the contracting process

River Clyde Homes procured ad-hoc asbestos surveying, sampling and analytical services, including associated remedial works, within its housing properties. The requirement covers reactive asbestos-related work rather than a single planned project, supporting the safe management of the organisation’s housing stock. Services are delivered for River Clyde Homes in the Greenock area. The work is classified as asbestos inspection and testing services (CPV 90650000), with related surveying, sampling, analysis and technical investigation activities. The buyer is River Clyde Homes, a public-law body focused on housing and community amenities. The requirement is distinct from a separately procured asbestos removal contract, and the same company could not be awarded both contracts.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Environmental Essentials Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract value is £400,000. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026. The initial contract period is 720 days, with River Clyde Homes able to extend the agreement by up to two further 12-month periods, subject to agreement with the successful supplier. The tender closed and bids were opened at 12:00 on 17 April 2026; the award period began that day. Evaluation included contract management quality at 45% and price at 30%. Six electronic bids were received, four from SMEs. The procurement is identified as recurring, with March 2030 recorded for a subsequent process.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from a housing provider for responsive asbestos surveying, sampling, analysis and remedial support at property level. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience delivering reactive asbestos services across occupied or managed housing stock, with the operational capacity to respond to ad-hoc instructions and coordinate work safely. Staff names and professional qualifications had to be provided, so suitably qualified technical personnel and clear resource planning are important. Work must follow the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, approved codes of practice and other relevant legislation. Suppliers should also be able to manage performance against key performance indicators, support electronic ordering and payment processes, and operate separately from any asbestos removal contractor.
