Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter procured asbestos removal works as a specialist service. The requirement covers the safe removal of asbestos from University of Exeter premises and is classified as asbestos removal services (CPV 90650000). The buying organisation is the University of Exeter, based in Exeter. The selected supplier, Intoheat Ltd, is also based in Exeter and is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement concerns one requirement rather than a group of separately described lots. It is relevant to asbestos removal contractors able to undertake controlled asbestos-related works for a public-sector university and to manage delivery in accordance with the buyer’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Intoheat Ltd. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026, runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2027, and is active. Its value is £33,875 excluding VAT, or £40,650 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the asbestos removal requirement. The published information records the award and contract outcome, but does not set out a scored evaluation basis or competitive tender process. The contract therefore represents a completed, single-supplier purchase by the University of Exeter rather than an opportunity being evaluated through an open or selective competition.

For asbestos removal businesses, this award shows a defined requirement from the University of Exeter for specialist removal services delivered through a straightforward below-threshold direct-award route. A competitor seeking to be credible when comparable work returns would need demonstrable asbestos removal capability, suitable operational capacity and the ability to deliver safely for a public-sector university. Local presence may be commercially useful, since both the buyer and the selected SME are based in Exeter, although the published procurement does not state that locality was a selection condition. The award also indicates that an SME can supply this type of specialist service to the University of Exeter at a contained, single-requirement scale.
