The Provision of Asbestos Survey and Sampling Services

Both Richmond and Wandsworth Councils are seeking to appoint two asbestos specialist consultants to undertake Asbestos Sampling and Removal Services. The contract is expected to have a duration of 5 years with the option to extend for a period or periods of up to 2 years at the absolute discretion of the Councils. The estimated total value of the contract is £1,722,000.

Following receipt of tenders, it is envisaged that 2 contractors will be appointed, acting as primary and secondary contractors. It is proposed that 60% of the work will be allocated to the primary Contractor and 40% to the secondary to ensure a contractor is always available to carry out the service.

To ensure quality of service, Tenderers will need to satisfy the Council that they are able to ensure swiftness in service provision.

The successful Tenderer must undertake all preparatory work and must commence full operations under the contract on the commencement date.
