Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council sought a single contractor for asbestos removal and abatement services across various properties under the council's management, including domestic units and communal areas. Categorised under services, specifically asbestos removal (CPV code 90650000), the tender was initially active as of 20th February 2025 but was later cancelled due to identified issues related to the tender's scope and schedule of rates. The location of service delivery was Rotherham Borough, within the region UKE31, and the council planned an open procurement procedure. Initially, the tender period was due to end on 24th March 2025, providing a potential contract value of £400,000 over approximately four years.

This tender represented a substantial business growth opportunity for companies specialising in asbestos removal, particularly those capable of undertaking licenced and non-licenced works and comprehensive site clearance. With the Council's requirement for compliance with statutory obligations such as the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Health and Safety at Work Act, businesses with strong credentials and established safety protocols would be well-suited to compete. Although the procurement process was abandoned, companies in the asbestos abatement industry should monitor for future opportunities from the council as similar needs may arise again.

Any such action must be brought within the applicable limitation period. Where a contract has not been entered into, the Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or order the Contracting Authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the Contract has been entered into, the Court may, depending on the circumstances, award damages, make a declaration of ineffectiveness, order the Contracting Authority to pay a fine, and/or order that the duration of the Contract be shortened.
