The contract runs for 2 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 December 2026.

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

Framework

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

The buyer expects to buy this again around November 2028.

What the notice says

Leicestershire County Council is seeking to establish a multi-supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of asbestos removal and abatement works across its property portfolio, including but not limited to schools, offices, libraries, depots, operational buildings, residential properties and other public sector premises. The successful suppliers will be required to provide a 24-hour, 365-day emergency response service, including attendance within two hours of notification where required. Services shall be delivered in accordance with all relevant legislation, guidance and industry standards, including the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, HSG247, ACOP L143 and associated Health and Safety Executive guidance. The Framework will operate primarily through direct award and mini-competition procedures. Works will be undertaken throughout the geographical area of Leicestershire and may include properties occupied by vulnerable persons, children and members of the public.
