Asbestos Survey and Analytical Works for Wrexham County Borough Council
Authority: Wrexham County Borough Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionWrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) is looking to appoint a single Contractor to undertake Asbestos Surveys and Analytical Works. The agreement will run for an initial 4 year term with the option to extend for a further period of 2 years, subject to satisfactory performance. The scope of the work will include, but not be limited to:
- Surveys and reinspection’s of domestic properties (dependant on new regulations/guidance).
- Reinspection’s of areas that fall under CAR2012 Reg 4 (Schools, commercial units, community centres and public buildings).
- Demolition and refurbishment surveys.
- Bulk sample and analysis.
- Reassurance air testing when required.
- Analytical work and site supervision of asbestos removal works.
- Water absorption testing.
- Management plan and report writing where required.
- Consultancy advice where required.
- Asbestos awareness training.
The work may be located anywhere across Wrexham County Borough with all WCBC owned and / or managed buildings falling within the scope of this Contract. For clarity, this may include private properties that the Council does not own, but is managing or is responsible for in some other way, such as local lettings.
The volume of work orders issued through this Contract may fluctuate and as such each Tenderer must be able to provide a flexible and scalable service that is capable of handling increases and decreases in demand throughout the Contract term. Given the nature of the work and the continued reduction in the number of buildings containing asbestos, it is entirely possible that volumes will reduce, although the Council cannot guarantee that this will be the case.
Tenderers should note that this Contract does not allow for the removal of asbestos. The removal of asbestos will be managed via a different contract which is scheduled to end 31st March 2027. It is the Councils intention to retender for the asbestos removals Contract but cannot guarantee this or the chosen procurement route.
The Contractor who is successful in being awarded the Asbestos Surveys and Analytical Works Contract (this procurement exercise) will be unable to bid for the planned Asbestos Removal Services contract. This extends to any organisations who are part of the same business group, i.e. organisations who share the same ultimate parent company. This is to support compliance with The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Please note that the Council will not allow for the use of subcontractors to deliver the contracted work. The tenderer must be able to deliver the work directly without subcontracting any element of it.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 9 Sept 2033, 23:59 BST.
- No preliminary market engagement: Not enough time and contracted work is heavily regulated / standardised

As per the tender documents
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- Turnover usually expected at this size: about £299,795 (twice the annual value).
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula. Turnover is an indicative market norm (≈2× annual value), not a published condition.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Wales (Cymru).
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 25 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
