What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Contractor shall provide asbestos management survey services in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (CAR 2012), HSE guidance HSG264 Asbestos: The Survey Guide, and all other applicable legislation, approved codes of practice, and industry standards. The purpose of the surveys is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) within domestic properties and will include any external areas associated with the property (Gardens and all areas and outbuildings within the property curtilage) garages, communal areas, and commercial premises, and to assess their condition and potential for disturbance during normal occupation and maintenance activities.

  • How the procedure runs: We will be following the Competitive Flexible Procedure tendering route, due to the possible inclusion of a negotiation stage and the nature of the works involved.
  • No preliminary market engagement: Time constraints

Published award criteria (2)
  • Technical: Pass/Fail Sustainability & Social Value 15%
  • Price: 85%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 85 of 85 points: a 10% discount moves about 8.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
