Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured works at Applemore College involving the removal of asbestos-containing materials and the encapsulation of materials that remain in place. The requirement falls within specialist trade construction works, including roof-related works, and is to be delivered in Hampshire. The council is the public-sector buyer. The procurement concerned one completed package of works, covering the asbestos repair requirement for the college rather than a wider programme of services. Businesses relevant to this requirement are specialist asbestos-removal and asbestos-remediation contractors able to carry out controlled removal and encapsulation works in an educational setting, with the associated construction capability needed for the site works.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure and awarded the work below the relevant threshold under a framework, without a competitive call-off. ABLE (SOUTH) LTD was awarded the single package. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and ran from 27 July to 7 August 2026. Its value was £6,038 excluding VAT and £7,245 including VAT. The award was for works in Hampshire and was classified under CPV 45260000, covering roof works and other special trade construction works. The contracting process was non-competitive at call-off stage, so the award demonstrates use of an existing framework route for this requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award shows that Hampshire County Council buys small, focused asbestos-repair packages for education sites through a framework route. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable competence in identifying and safely removing asbestos-containing materials, encapsulating materials where removal is unsuitable, and managing the associated specialist construction works. Relevant experience in occupied or operational educational buildings would help demonstrate practical control of access, safety and disruption, although the source data does not set out particular accreditation or qualification requirements. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can deliver the requirement. Competitors should therefore be able to evidence specialist asbestos capability, proportionate delivery capacity and readiness to work under the council’s framework arrangements.
