The University of Edinburgh is looking to appoint HSE licenced asbestos removal contractors (LARC) to carry out all types of work with asbestos throughout the estate. Successful contractors will form part of the wider asbestos Estates Health and Safety Management team that will share best practice and have a proactive approach to the continuous improvement of the service over the contract period.
Given the significant size, diversity of buildings and widespread location of the University’s estate, it is proposed to create a multi lot, multi supplier framework agreement that captures all requirements under one procurement tender exercise. For all Lots, services will include, but not be limited to:
Licenced asbestos removal work
Non licenced asbestos removal work
Notifiable non-licenced asbestos removal work
Re-insulation and Reinstatement
Attendance to emergency situations
The provision of expert professional advice
The framework agreement will be tendered on behalf of the University of Edinburgh and all University of Edinburgh Subsidiary Companies. Any and all of the University of Edinburgh’s Subsidiary Companies may access and utilise the framework agreement at any time during the life of the framework period. The proposed contract period is an initial 2 year framework with an option to extend for a further 1 plus 1 year to 2025. The framework is divided into two Lots. Lot 1 Contracts of the value of less than 50k GBP (excluding VAT). Lot 2 Contracts of the value of 50k GBP or more (excluding VAT). Suppliers can bid for one or both lots.
All bidders shall be required to be holders of an Asbestos Removal Licence issued by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). All successful suppliers awarded to the framework will be required to hold an unrestricted HSE licence for asbestos removal and hold a valid waste carrier’s licence (should they transport the waste) or ensure they contract with a supplier that does.
