Summary of the contracting process

National Records of Scotland commissioned re-inspections of asbestos-containing materials and reports on their condition. The work is an asbestos inspection and reporting service, delivered in Edinburgh. The requirement covers inspection and reporting for the buyer’s asbestos-containing materials, rather than the supply of goods. The National Records of Scotland is the organisation buying the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to E.D.P. Health, Safety and Environment Consultants Limited. The contract value is £30,000. It was signed on 12 October 2026; no contract period or award date is stated. The buyer placed the order as a call-off from the Scottish Procurement Alliance’s Asset Safety & Compliance framework, using a direct award without a prior competition. The procurement covered one lot for asbestos inspections and reporting. The published bid statistics record one bid for that lot. The award was therefore made through the framework route rather than a competitive tender for this individual requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from National Records of Scotland for asbestos re-inspections and condition reports in Edinburgh. Suppliers that can inspect asbestos-containing materials and produce clear, usable reports are aligned with the requirement. A competitor would need the technical capability and operational capacity to carry out inspections and reporting for the buyer’s estate, and to deliver through the Scottish Procurement Alliance’s Asset Safety & Compliance framework if the same framework route is used again. The award followed a framework call-off rather than an open competition for this contract, so framework access is commercially relevant to suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer. The process records a single bid, but does not establish any particular accreditation or qualification requirement.
