Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured asbestos removal and remediation works for its domestic and non-domestic housing stock. The contractor is required to work on, encapsulate and remove all types of asbestos-containing materials, arrange disposal at licensed disposal facilities, and make good surfaces around removed materials so that others can reinstate them. This is a works contract covering asbestos-removal work and asbestos-removal services (CPV 45262660 and 90650000). Delivery is across Southampton. The requirement is relevant to contractors with practical asbestos surveying, removal, encapsulation, remediation, waste handling and surface-reinstatement capability, particularly those able to work across housing and other property portfolios for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the award decision selected R.H. Insulation Services Limited. The award is recorded as pending, with a standstill period ending on 27 August 2026. The award date is 18 August 2026 and the awarded value is £12,000,000 gross. The contract period is 19 October 2026 to 17 October 2031, with a maximum extent date of 31 October 2036. It includes a three-year extension followed by a further two-year extension, at the Council’s discretion. This was a single-lot open procedure, evaluated on quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%. The tender deadline was 17 November 2025 at 14:00, and the enquiry deadline was 4 November 2025. Sixteen bids were received, with 13 reaching the final stage.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring local-authority demand for asbestos removal and remediation across a housing stock, with a requirement large enough to support a multi-year delivery operation. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable competence in handling all types of asbestos-containing materials, including encapsulation and removal, together with compliant transfer to licensed disposal facilities. It would also need the operational capacity to manage domestic and non-domestic properties, coordinate safely with the Council and other contractors, and make good affected surfaces for subsequent reinstatement. Quality was more important than price in the evaluation, so bidders would need strong evidence of safe working methods, reliable project management, consistent delivery standards and effective quality controls. The competition attracted 13 final-stage bids, 12 from SMEs, showing that smaller specialist firms can participate at this scale.
