UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council had initiated a procurement process for the provision of Asbestos Surveying Services, aimed at operating within the public authority sector. This procurement, identified by OCID ocds-h6vhtk-050184, was initially at the planning stage and was set to enter the tendering phase on the 1st of August, 2025. The contract, geared towards companies offering building surveying services, was scheduled to commence on the 1st of November, 2025, with a conclusion date of the 31st of October, 2030. The services were to be deployed in the UK region, with a focus on servicing Ashford, United Kingdom. However, as of 10th July 2025, the tender process was withdrawn, and the existing contract was extended under the current framework.

This procurement presented an expansive opportunity for businesses specialising in building surveying services, especially those small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to establish or expand their government contract portfolios. The planned engagement would have allowed businesses to showcase their expertise in asbestos management services, leveraging the long-term contract period to foster stable business growth and continuity in the public sector market. Despite the cancellation of the tender, the process underlined potential forthcoming opportunities for similar engagements in the future, particularly for SMEs operating within or near the Ashford region. Interested parties are advised to keep abreast of future notices from Ashford Borough Council to partake in subsequent opportunities.
