## Summary

The Torus Group, a Housing Association based in the United Kingdom, recently awarded a contract for Asbestos Testing laboratory services in the North West region. The procurement method used was a limited Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The tender was for a 2-year contract to North Star Environmental Ltd., the only identified supplier meeting Torus' capacity requirements for 1,500 samples per month with a 24-48hr turnaround.

This tender for Asbestos Testing services by Torus Group presents an opportunity for suppliers in the laboratory services industry, particularly those capable of handling high sample volumes with quick turnarounds. Businesses located in or willing to serve the North West region of England would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders issued by housing associations or organisations in need of laboratory testing services.
