Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured phase 2 asbestos-removal works at Central Primary Upper School, Third Avenue, Ashington, Northumberland, NE63 9BE. The work covered the removal of asbestos from roof voids as part of a school premises project. This is a construction and specialist environmental-remediation requirement, classified as asbestos-removal work. The council was the buying organisation and the works were delivered at the school in Ashington. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It will be relevant to contractors with the operational capability to plan and carry out asbestos-removal works safely in an occupied or operational education setting, particularly where work is phased within an existing school building.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a limited competitive quotation process below the public procurement threshold. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. Northumberland County Council awarded the contract to Thompsons of Prudhoe Ltd on 15 July 2026 for £91,368 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 15 July 2026 to 25 August 2026. The tender was for works rather than goods or services, and the recorded requirement was a single asbestos-removal project at the school. The award is active, while the overall tender status is complete. The available process information identifies competitive quotation as the procurement route; the award outcome is the selection of Thompsons of Prudhoe Ltd.

This award provides a clear indication that Northumberland County Council buys specialist asbestos-removal works for its school estate through competitive quotations below the public procurement threshold. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to remove asbestos from roof voids and to manage phased works within an education building. Practical strength in planning, site control, risk management and completion of contained remediation projects would be directly relevant to this requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so scale alone was not a stated barrier. Contractors serving Northumberland and nearby areas may be well placed operationally, provided they can deliver the required specialist works at comparable project scale and meet the council’s procurement requirements.
