Asbestos Framework
Framework Description
Liverpool City Region Combined Authority's Asbestos Framework is a multi-supplier framework for asbestos management services across its estate, covering licensed and non-licensed works. It is estimated at £8 million excluding VAT over four years, from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The procurement uses the open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 and is flagged as particularly suitable for SMEs.
Context & Use Case
The combined authority will call off planned and reactive asbestos work across its property portfolio, including occupied and operational sites, to keep premises safe and meet the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance. Lots are expected to be split by geography, project value or type of asbestos work.
Scope of Services
Asbestos removal, licensed and non-licensed Encapsulation and encasement Asbestos paint and coating removal Surveys and sampling to support works Hazardous waste transport and disposal Air monitoring and four-stage clearance Emergency response to accidental disturbance Compliance documentation, method statements and site coordination
Lots

Who Can Apply
HSE-licensed asbestos removal contractors and firms carrying out non-licensed asbestos work, including SMEs, with a track record of safe delivery in occupied buildings. It will not accept new applications once awarded, so suppliers join only by winning a place through this procurement; check Find a Tender for its current stage.
Buyer Benefits
One framework covering removal, encapsulation, surveys, testing and emergency response gives the authority quick access to licensed contractors for both planned works and urgent discoveries. Lots by geography, value or work type spread opportunities across specialists and SMEs, and the documentation requirements support an auditable compliance record.
