## Summary

Efficiency East Midlands Ltd (EEM) has awarded multiple contracts for an Asbestos Survey and Removal Services Framework spanning from 17th June 2024 to 16th June 2028. The framework, which covers both domestic and commercial properties, is divided into several lots: Asbestos Surveys and Analytical Services with sublots for the Midlands and national coverage, and Asbestos Removals and Disposal Services, also with sublots for the Midlands and national coverage. The procurement process falls under the category of services, specifically classified under CPV code 90650000. The main contracts were signed on 17th June 2024, and the framework agreement will last for a total of four years, with a potential extension for call-off contracts up to five years beyond this period.

This framework offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in asbestos management services to expand their portfolios and secure long-term contracts. Firms with expertise in asbestos surveys, analytical services, and removal/disposal services, particularly those accredited to ISO/IEC standards, are well-suited to compete. The tender was conducted using an open procedure and employed a balanced evaluation method focused on quality and cost. This framework is ideal for establishing consistent revenue streams through reliable and extensive service provision to a diverse membership base that includes housing associations, local authorities, and NHS trusts, across the Midlands and the UK.
