Summary of the contracting process

The University of Aberdeen is procuring a ranked framework for asbestos-related services in Aberdeen. It has two lots: asbestos removal and disposal, and asbestos analyst services. The requirement supports planned work for the University and its customers, with additional ad hoc requirements when needed. Lot 1 is intended for an asbestos removal contractor, while Lot 2 is for asbestos analyst services. Suppliers may bid for both lots, but a supplier appointed to one lot cannot be considered for the other because responsibility must be divided. The work is classified as services and covers asbestos removal and disposal, together with analytical testing and related analyst services. The framework is intended to support the University’s requirements in Aberdeen.

The procurement reached tender: the University invited offers through an open procedure using electronic submission. Bids were due by 14 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The evaluation for both lots is 70% technical quality and 30% price. Each lot has a 720-day contract period, with two optional 12-month extensions. The framework may include up to four participants. Bids must remain valid for 90 days, must be submitted in English, and variants are not allowed. The framework covers both planned and ad hoc requirements. Electronic ordering and payment are supported, and electronic invoicing is allowed. No tender value is stated.

This opportunity suits established asbestos specialists able to deliver either removal and disposal work or independent asbestos analysis in support of a university estate. Relevant bidders will need practical capability in their chosen discipline, sufficient qualified personnel and operational capacity to respond to both planned projects and ad hoc instructions. The two-lot structure allows removal contractors and analyst firms to compete for their respective services, while the separation rule prevents one supplier from being appointed to both lots. The framework format may suit firms experienced in public-sector call-offs, scheduled work programmes and variable demand. Suppliers able to demonstrate strong technical delivery, reliable reporting and safe management of asbestos-related activities are likely to be well placed under the quality-led evaluation.
