Asbestos Survey and Analytical Works for Wrexham County Borough Council

Wrexham County Borough Council (WCBC) is looking to appoint a single Contractor to undertake Asbestos Surveys and Analytical Works. The agreement will run for an initial 4 year term with the option to extend for a further period of 2 years, subject to satisfactory performance.

The scope of the work will include, but not be limited to: • Surveys and reinspection’s of domestic properties (dependant on new regulations/guidance). • Reinspection’s of areas that fall under CAR2012 Reg 4 (Schools, commercial units, community centres and public buildings). • Demolition and refurbishment surveys. • Bulk sample and analysis. • Reassurance air testing when required. • Analytical work and site supervision of asbestos removal works. • Water absorption testing. • Management plan and report writing where required. • Consultancy advice where required. • Asbestos awareness training. The work may be located anywhere across Wrexham County Borough with all WCBC owned and / or managed buildings falling within the scope of this Contract.

For clarity, this may include private properties that the Council does not own, but is managing or is responsible for in some other way, such as local lettings. Given the nature of the work and the continued reduction in the number of buildings containing asbestos, it is entirely possible that volumes will reduce, although the Council cannot guarantee that this will be the case.

Tenderers should note that this Contract does not allow for the removal of asbestos. The removal of asbestos will be managed via a different contract which is scheduled to end 31st March 2027.

It is the Councils intention to retender for the asbestos removals Contract but cannot guarantee this or the chosen procurement route. The Contractor who is successful in being awarded the Asbestos Surveys and Analytical Works Contract (this procurement exercise) will be unable to bid for the planned Asbestos Removal Services contract.

This extends to any organisations who are part of the same business group, i.e. organisations who share the same ultimate parent company. This is to support compliance with The Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
