Staffordshire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Staffordshire County Council is looking for suppliers for waste work (West Midlands).

It is a framework worth up to £1,600,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

It is split into 2 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Bids close at midday, Tuesday 24 November 2026.

How bids are scored

Quality 100%

Quality matters most. You can win without being the cheapest.

Competition

Usually high: a median of 9 bids per contract for this buyer (from 125 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1,600,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

Conditions

Suppliers pay a fee of 0.5% of the value of work won through this framework.

The buyer expects to buy this again around October 2030.

What the notice says

This Framework is for the provision of refurbishment and demolition asbestos surveys, management surveys, air monitoring including emergency response, four stage clearance testing and ad-hoc bulk sampling for asbestos materials. Throughout the Framework and each Call-Off, the organisation undertaking surveys and reinspections shall hold UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17020 covering the commissioned inspection activities. Laboratories undertaking bulk identification, air sampling, fibre counting and four-stage clearance shall hold UKAS accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 for each relevant activity. Survey accreditation is an additional contractual requirement; it is not presented as a universal legal requirement.
