## Summary

mhs homes group commissioned asbestos testing services as a second contractor, covering technical testing, analysis and consultancy relating to asbestos, with associated asbestos removal services identified in the requirement. The work is delivered across the South East of England for the housing organisation. The requirement is classified as technical testing, analysis and consultancy services, with asbestos removal services as an additional classification. It is a service contract intended for suppliers able to inspect and assess asbestos-related risks and provide the associated technical input. The buyer is mhs homes group, based in Chatham, Kent. The opportunity is therefore relevant to environmental testing companies, asbestos surveyors, analytical laboratories and contractors that combine asbestos assessment with related removal capability.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Riverside Environmental Services Limited. The award was made on 30 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is valued at £120,000 and runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The service category is services, and the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. This outcome shows that mhs homes group selected a framework supplier for a defined one-year asbestos testing requirement, with the successful contractor appointed as the second contractor.

This procurement is commercially relevant to firms with established asbestos testing, surveying, analysis and technical consultancy capability, particularly those serving housing providers across the South East. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate reliable capacity for planned and responsive asbestos assessment work, robust reporting and the ability to support decisions about asbestos management and any related removal activity. Experience of delivering regulated environmental or building-safety services for a housing organisation would strengthen a future response. The route to market is also significant: suppliers would need access to, or experience of competing through, framework call-offs rather than relying only on open standalone tenders. The award provides evidence of demand for a specialist second contractor in this buyer’s property portfolio.
