Summary of the contracting process

Gateshead Borough Council sought contractors for licensed and non-licensed asbestos removal works. The requirement covers domestic properties, schools and public buildings in Gateshead and the surrounding delivery area of the council. The work is classified as asbestos-removal work and is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity. The council intended to establish a closed framework for carrying out asbestos removal, with prices determined when the framework was established and future work awarded without reopening competition. Suppliers would therefore need to provide asbestos surveying-related removal capability and carry out controlled removal works across occupied or operational public and residential premises, as applicable to individual jobs. The procurement was arranged by Gateshead Borough Council as the contracting authority.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. Tenders were due by 15 May 2026 at 12 noon. The single lot had a gross estimated value of £1,870,000 including VAT and was intended to run from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions to a maximum date of 31 July 2030. Evaluation was based on price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%. A 1% success fee based on the awarded value applied; bidders were directed to the tender documents for details. The procurement was cancelled on 19 August 2026, after tenders had been invited.

This opportunity suited specialist asbestos-removal contractors able to undertake both licensed and non-licensed work. Relevant businesses would need the operational capability, trained personnel, equipment and working practices to remove asbestos safely from domestic properties, schools and public buildings. The scope could suit contractors experienced in delivering planned or responsive works across a varied public-sector property portfolio, including premises that may remain in use during the works. Suppliers also needed sufficient capacity to support a multi-year framework and its potential extensions, rather than a single isolated project. The evaluation gave substantial weight to quality and included a social-value element, so bidders would need to demonstrate credible service delivery, risk control, community benefits and the ability to meet the council’s technical requirements.
