Asbestos Inspections Framework Inc Legionella Compliance
Framework Description
The National Framework Partnership's Asbestos Inspections Framework Inc Legionella Compliance gives public sector clients access to appointed specialists for asbestos surveys and Legionella water safety work. It sits in the Construction category, and applications for it are closed (it is not a DPS). The agreement runs until 30 June 2027, so the appointed suppliers have around eight months of call-offs left before a replacement is needed.
Context & Use Case
Councils, housing providers, schools, colleges and healthcare bodies use it to commission asbestos surveys before refurbishment or demolition, keep asbestos registers up to date, and carry out Legionella risk assessments and monitoring of water systems. Both are statutory duties for building owners, so buyers need competent inspectors and clear, defensible reports. Using the framework saves them running a separate tender for each programme of surveys.
Scope of Services
Asbestos inspections to identify and assess asbestos-containing materials Clear inspection reports Recommendations for safe management and removal of asbestos risks Legionella compliance checks and water system monitoring Advice on meeting legal safety requirements

Who Can Apply
Suits asbestos surveying firms, Legionella risk assessors and water hygiene consultancies with accredited staff and public sector clients. New suppliers cannot join the current framework; the next chance is the re-tender expected ahead of the 30 June 2027 end.
Buyer Benefits
For duty holders, the cost of getting asbestos or Legionella wrong is severe. Buyers value inspectors already checked for accreditation, insurance and report quality, and a single route that covers both risks, which simplifies compliance for organisations managing large property portfolios.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should focus on turnaround times and report quality to win repeat instructions. Others should note the 30 June 2027 end and watch the National Framework Partnership website for the replacement tender, likely in the first half of 2027. Prepare accreditation evidence, sample reports and public sector case studies covering both asbestos and Legionella work.
