Summary of the contracting process

Bodmin Town Council is procuring works to remove and replace the existing asbestos slate roof covering on the Mansard elevations of Shire House in Bodmin. The scope includes safe removal and lawful disposal of asbestos materials, installation of a modern natural slate roof, and fitting a permanent edge and skylight protection system. The contractor must provide the labour, materials, access arrangements, temporary protection, plant, waste management and completion documentation needed to deliver the project. This is a construction and roof-replacement opportunity, with associated asbestos management, health and safety, work-at-height and repair and maintenance requirements. The works are to be delivered at Shire House, Bodmin, for the council.

The process has reached tender: Bodmin Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with an estimated value of £65,000 excluding VAT and £78,000 including VAT. Enquiries were due by 12 noon on 10 September 2026, and bids were due by 12 noon on 11 September 2026. Offers must be submitted in a sealed envelope rather than electronically. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 30 November 2026, with a possible extension to 14 December 2026. Evaluation is based on price and value for money (30%), relevant experience and technical competence (20%), health, safety and asbestos management (20%), programme and delivery approach (15%), quality, materials and warranty provision (10%), and environmental and waste management (5%).

This opportunity suits an SME roofing contractor with demonstrable experience in comparable roof replacement and asbestos-related projects, particularly work on listed, community or other sensitive public buildings. The successful supplier will need suitable technical competence and evidence of managing asbestos safely, including compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and relevant health, safety and environmental duties. Strong candidates will be able to produce robust risk assessments, method statements, asbestos-control measures and work-at-height arrangements. The council also expects clear programme planning, competent site management, reliable mobilisation and prompt attendance. Experience in Cornwall or similar rural and coastal settings, effective hazardous-waste handling, quality controls, warranties and handover documentation will support a competitive bid, as will local labour, apprenticeships, supply-chain involvement and community benefits.
