Summary of the contracting process

The Orkney Islands Council has initiated a public procurement process for asbestos surveys and associated works, titled "Invitation to Tender for the Provision of Asbestos Surveys and Associated Works 2025-2028". This falls under the services category, specifically asbestos removal services, and will be conducted across the OIC property estate or where Council staff occupy space, covering both domestic and non-domestic properties. The primary procurement method is an open procedure. The procurement process is currently in the 'Tender' stage, with a recent amendment extending the submission deadline to 23rd July 2025. This procurement is valued at £300,000, with an opportunity for contract renewal, and is slated to commence on 25th August 2025, for a duration of three years, with possible extensions. The operation is based in the UK region of Orkney Islands.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in asbestos removal and related services. Given the scope, businesses experienced in managing, refurbishment, and demolition surveys will find this opportunity particularly lucrative. Companies with the capability to handle large-scale projects across diverse property types—including circulation spaces, floor voids, loots, roofs, and external outbuildings—are well-suited to compete. The tender offers a robust platform for suppliers to expand their portfolio by associating with a regional authority and further positions them to potentially secure extended agreements subject to funding. Additionally, the open procurement method allows for fair competition, providing equal opportunity for suitably qualified businesses. Completion and submission of the SPD (Scotland) is an essential part of the selection criteria, and electronic submissions are accepted.
