Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council procured specialist asbestos inspection and compliance services for its housing revenue account properties. The scope covers 4,800 residential properties, garages, communal areas and non-domestic sites, including sewage treatment works, pumping stations, car parks and open spaces. The required services include asbestos surveying, re-inspections, air monitoring, bulk sampling, laboratory analysis, auditing and training. The work supports statutory and compliance duties intended to protect council employees, contractors, tenants, visitors and members of the public who live, work or carry out work in or around these properties. This is a professional inspection and engineering service delivered across Exeter and the wider South West area.

The procurement was completed through a restricted procedure, with the tender closing on 3 October 2025 at 12:00. Exeter City Council awarded the contract to G & L Consultancy Ltd on 23 January 2026. The awarded value is £456,105.79. The contract period runs from 26 January 2026 to 25 July 2027. It is a services contract covering the full requirement rather than separately identified lots. The award is active and the tender is complete. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information identifies architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services as the relevant work category.

This award indicates sustained demand from Exeter City Council for a broad asbestos management capability rather than a single survey exercise. A credible competitor for the next comparable requirement would need to combine asbestos surveying, re-inspection, air monitoring, bulk sampling and analytical services with auditing and practical training. Experience across occupied housing, communal facilities, garages and varied operational sites would be important, as would the capacity to manage a large property portfolio and respond across residential and non-domestic environments. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable statutory compliance processes, clear reporting, protection of residents and workers, and sufficient technical and operational resources to support the council’s housing and wider estate responsibilities.
