        <title>NCC1682 Framework Agreement for Asbestos Removal &amp; Disposal Works</title>
        <description>
          <p>Northumberland County Council is establishing a framework of Asbestos Contractors for the removal of asbestos containing materials from buildings which the Council has control over, typically homes, schools, libraries, offices, fire stations, workshops, and care homes, located throughout Northumberland.</p>
          <p>The Framework Agreement will consist of two Lots:</p>
          <p>Lot 1 - Licensed Asbestos Removal / Emergency Asbestos Removal</p>
          <p>Lot 2 - Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal</p>
          <p>Contractors can bid for one or both lots.</p>
          <p>If bidding for both lots, only one PSQ needs to be completed and returned.</p>
          <p>We will be awarding no more than 2 companies per lot, and these will be the top 2 ranked after evaluation.</p>

              <p>The 2 contractors that have the highest combined score for quality and price will be awarded a place on the applicable framework lot. The contractor with the highest final score will be awarded the position of first ranking, the contract with the next highest final score with be awarded the position of second ranking.</p>
              <p>The client will contact the top ranked tenderer on the lot in question with regards their availability for the date, time and duration for the required project. We will email the appointed tenderer with the asbestos removal request which will contain a proforma describing the area, asbestos material to be removed and the square or linear meterage to be removed.</p>
              <p>In the event that the top ranked tenderer is unable to fulfil the job it will then be offered to the 2nd ranked tenderer.</p>
              <p>In the event that any single asbestos removal request is likely to exceed the 25k limit or requires any specialised removal IE; requiring large scale scaffoldings or other specialised equipment in regard to the standard HSE notification will be subject to a further competition. All contractors in Lots 1 &amp; 2 will be invited to price for this removal work and will be required to produce a Risk Assessment and Method Statement specific to the requested asbestos removal work, this will include HSE documentation (ASB5) for Licenced Asbestos Removal work.</p>
