Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
It is expected that as part of this framework tenderers will bid for;
Asbestos consultancy – surveying, laboratory testing and air testing (UKAS accredited)
or
HSE licensed asbestos removal contractors (LARC’s) - physical removal and remediation works
In order to maintain independence it is the preference to have separate organisations for each workstream.
It is a mandatory requirement of this Framework Agreement that a prompt payment clause is present in all supply chain Contracts used in the delivery of the requirements. This ensures payment of sub-contractors at all stages of the supply chain within 30 days and includes an obligation to provide a point of contact for sub-contractors to refer to in the case of payment difficulties. This will require active monitoring of payment performance as well as the provision of evidence and reports to the Council on request
