Summary of the contracting process

Ipswich Borough Council procured asbestos survey management services for its buildings and related property assets in Ipswich. The requirement covers environmental engineering, building-fabric and building-services consultancy, technical testing, analysis and consultancy, and asbestos removal services. It is a professional services contract concerned with identifying, assessing and managing asbestos risks, with removal services included in the scope. The council is the buyer and the work is associated with its estate in Ipswich. The procurement was divided into one lot. The requirement is relevant to asbestos survey and compliance specialists, environmental or building consultancy practices, technical testing providers and asbestos removal contractors able to deliver an integrated service rather than a single isolated activity.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Full Circle Compliance Ltd was selected on 8 September 2026, with the award recorded as pending and a standstill period ending on 24 September 2026. The award value is £193,825 gross in GBP. The original estimated tender value was £195,000 excluding VAT (£234,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions allowing a maximum end date of 30 September 2031. It used an above-threshold open procedure. Eight bids were received, including eight from SMEs. Evaluation was based on price and quality: price carried 60% and quality 40%. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 11:00, and clarification questions closed on 6 July 2026 at 14:00.

This award demonstrates established demand from Ipswich Borough Council for a combined asbestos compliance and property consultancy service, rather than an isolated removal package. A credible future competitor would need competence in asbestos surveying and management, environmental and building-fabric consultancy, building services, technical testing and analysis, and the ability to manage removal work where required. The winning supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist business rather than only a large national contractor. The evaluation balance also shows that a competitive offer would need to combine service quality with price discipline. Businesses with an integrated delivery model, relevant asbestos management experience, reliable testing capability and capacity to support a council building portfolio would be well placed when this requirement returns to market.
