AWARD OUTCOME
What happened
Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust has established a two-lot asbestos services framework with six verified suppliers. Lot 1 covers asbestos surveys and Lot 2 asbestos analytics. The published contract data records two active contracts signed on 4 October 2026 and starting on 5 October 2026.
Published outcomeThree suppliers were appointed to each lot. Lot 1 has a published net contract value of £2,000,000; Lot 2 has a published net contract value of £2,400,000. These are shared multi-supplier contract values, not supplier-specific awards.
Market significanceThe framework has a published combined net value of £4,400,000 and permits further competition between suppliers on the same lot, creating call-off opportunities during its term.
