Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council procured asbestos removal services for the Ewart, Bramwell and Shaftoe refurbishment programme. The work involved removing asbestos-containing materials where refurbishment could disturb them and preparing suitable substrates for subsequent flooring installations, including new screeds and floor finishes in communal areas. This is a specialist services requirement supporting wider building improvement works. Delivery is associated with the North East of England, with the council based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The requirement was procured through a framework arrangement and relates specifically to asbestos removal rather than general refurbishment, flooring installation or broader construction services. Businesses with relevant asbestos surveying, removal, containment and substrate-preparation capability would find the scope most closely aligned with their services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a limited direct award without prior publication of a competition, using the highest-ranked supplier under Lot 1 of the NEPO234 framework. Evaluation was based on price. RHODAR INDUSTRIAL SERVICES LIMITED was awarded the requirement, with an award value of £51,000. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and is recorded as active. One bid was received. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active; the award therefore represents the completed outcome. The procurement was conducted by Newcastle City Council under a framework arrangement, with the direct-award rationale identifying an award to the first-ranked framework supplier.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Newcastle City Council for specialist asbestos-removal support within communal-area refurbishment programmes. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the practical capability to identify and safely remove asbestos-containing materials where building works may disturb them, then leave substrates suitable for follow-on screed and flooring installation. The route to market also matters: suppliers would need to understand framework-based direct awards and how ranking under a relevant framework can determine access to work. The award went to a large industrial-services provider, indicating that the buyer accepted a supplier with sufficient organisational capacity for controlled asbestos operations and coordination with wider refurbishment works. Price was the stated evaluation basis, so competitive commercial pricing would be important alongside technical delivery capability.
