UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Advantage South West LLP is procuring framework services for asbestos surveying and asbestos removal across housing portfolios operated by its members in the South West of England. The requirement covers eight regional lots: surveying in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset, and removal in the same four counties. Surveying includes building surveys and technical building inspections; removal covers asbestos-removal works and services. The framework is intended for use by public sector bodies across the South West, including housing associations and local authorities, which join through a membership arrangement. The buying organisation is Advantage South West LLP, based in Exeter. Suppliers may therefore need to deliver locally across one or more of the named counties, depending on the lots they pursue.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective competitive flexible procedure. It has two stages, with a preliminary supplier questionnaire used to shortlist bidders, followed by an invitation to tender assessed on quality and price. Expressions of interest were due by 21 October 2026 at 14:00, and enquiries closed on 12 October 2026 at 23:59. The award decision period ends on 12 February 2027. Each lot has a contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The overall estimated value is £16,000,000 excluding VAT and £20,000,000 including VAT; each of the eight lots is estimated at £2,083,333 excluding VAT and £2,500,000 including VAT. Up to 10 suppliers may be shortlisted for each lot. Electronic submissions in English are allowed.

This opportunity suits established asbestos surveying practices, asbestos removal contractors and suppliers able to provide both services, with relevant operational capability in the South West. Surveying bidders should be able to carry out building surveys and technical inspections across housing portfolios; removal bidders should be equipped to undertake asbestos-removal works and associated services safely and consistently. The lot structure allows firms to target Cornwall, Devon, Somerset or Dorset, rather than necessarily covering the whole region. The procurement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Successful framework suppliers may receive work through either direct award or further competition, creating opportunities for firms with the capacity to respond to individual call-offs as well as larger programmes.
