Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council is procuring two asbestos-related service contracts for its property portfolio in Derby. Lot 1 covers asbestos removal and remediation, including managing asbestos and hazardous-waste risks so properties can remain safely occupied and refurbishment projects can proceed. Lot 2 covers asbestos analyst services, including asbestos surveys, air testing, sampling, training and secondment. Both lots require the timely provision of suitably qualified, experienced and competent personnel. The work is classified as services, covering asbestos-removal work, technical testing, analysis and consultancy. The requirement is intended to support safe occupation, planned refurbishment and compliant asbestos management across the Council’s properties. Suppliers can bid for either lot, but a single supplier may be awarded no more than one lot.

The procurement has reached tender: Derby City Council invited offers through an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024. Suppliers had to obtain the documents by 12:00 noon on 14 October 2026; clarification questions were due by 12:00 noon on 24 September 2026, and bids were due by 12:00 noon on 15 October 2026. The award decision was due by 27 November 2026. Lot 1 runs from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029, with annual extensions up to 31 January 2032. Its estimated value is £1,172,000 excluding VAT, or £1,406,400 including VAT. Lot 2 runs from 13 February 2027 to 12 February 2029, with extensions up to 12 February 2032. Its estimated value is £2,616,000 excluding VAT, or £3,139,200 including VAT. Each lot is evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%, with economic and technical selection criteria set out in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits asbestos-removal contractors and asbestos consultancy or analytical specialists with the competence, experience and resources to deliver safely and reliably. Lot 1 is suited to a contractor able to remediate asbestos or hazardous-waste risks in occupied properties and support refurbishment works, using suitably qualified personnel and responding promptly to service requirements. Lot 2 suits an asbestos analyst able to carry out surveys, air testing and sampling, and to provide training, secondment and other analytical support through competent staff. Both lots are identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work offers a route for a specialist supplier to support a local authority property portfolio over an initial two-year term, with potential for longer-term service continuity through annual extensions, subject to performance and business needs.

Maximum contract period is five (5) years. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the country and may result in changes to council structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract. For this contract it is anticipated that the effects of LGR may lead to an increased service demand or the need to extend provision to new areas or client groups. For Lot 1 the asbestos removal and remediation services contract, bidders should note that the total estimated contract value of PS1,172,000, comprises of two components: i) The core contract value, estimated at PS293,000, based on known current service requirements ii) An additional estimated value of PS879,000 to reflect potential future changes in service scope or volume linked to LGR. For Lot 2 the asbestos analyst services contract, bidders should note that the total estimated contract value of PS2,616,000, comprises of two components: i) The core contract value, estimated at PS654,000, based on known current service requirements ii) An additional estimated value of PS1,962,000 to reflect potential future changes in service scope or volume linked to LGR. These figures are estimations and due to only being in the early stages of the process the Authority cannot give any commitment on these figures but would like to build scope into the Contract should the need arise.
