Summary of the contracting process

Bridgend County Borough Council commissioned works to remove asbestos insulation debris from heating tunnels at Brynteg Lower School in Bridgend. The requirement combines asbestos removal services with associated construction work. The work concerns the safe clearance of hazardous material from building infrastructure rather than general building maintenance. The recorded delivery location is within Bridgend County Borough Council’s area in Wales. The council is the public-sector buyer and contracting authority. The contract was awarded to Gwella Contracting Services Ltd, an SME based in Redruth. Businesses operating in asbestos remediation, hazardous-material removal, specialist building works or related site-clearance services would find this requirement relevant, particularly those able to work in schools and confined or service-access areas such as heating tunnels.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. Gwella Contracting Services Ltd received the award. The contract was signed on 27 May 2026 and ran from 3 June to 24 August 2026. Its value was £98,600 excluding VAT (£118,320 including VAT). The contract is recorded as terminated, with the rationale classified as completed. Implementation ended on 21 August 2026, with a final value of £88,600 excluding VAT (£106,320 including VAT). The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and contract values but does not set out a separate award date or detailed evaluation weighting.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a council requirement for specialist asbestos-removal capability linked to construction works in an occupied public-estate setting, specifically school heating infrastructure. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical experience identifying, containing and removing asbestos insulation debris, controlling health and safety risks, and completing associated making-good or construction tasks. The work also indicates the importance of operating in restricted service areas and coordinating with a public-sector client at an education site. Gwella Contracting Services Ltd’s selection shows that an SME-sized specialist contractor can deliver this type of below-threshold council requirement. Relevant firms should be able to evidence competent hazardous-material handling, suitable site-management arrangements and comparable completed work.
