Provision of ad hoc Asbestos Management Inspections to Block Communal Areas as defined in HSG264 to assist MKCC in complying with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

This requirement concerns the delivery of asbestos surveying services, which are well‑understood, and subject to established industry standards and accreditation requirements. The contracting authority has prior experience of procuring similar services and is aware of a mature and competitive marketplace.
