Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) commissioned services to strip out asbestos from the remainder of a building. The requirement is a building and facilities management service, covering work at UKRI’s building operations in the United Kingdom. The scope is focused on asbestos strip-out rather than general construction or routine facilities management. The named buying organisation is UKRI, a central government public authority. The work was procured as a single requirement and relates to the remaining asbestos-related work in the building. Businesses active in asbestos removal, hazardous-building-materials work and associated building services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to undertake controlled strip-out operations within an occupied or operational public-sector estate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. Navigate Scaffolding Ltd was awarded the contract, which was signed on 18 September 2026. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 25 January 2027. Its value is £111,866 excluding VAT and £134,239.20 including VAT. The award is for services and covers the building asbestos strip-out requirement. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract. The procurement route means there was no competitive tender evaluation basis recorded for this award; the key commercial signal is UKRI’s direct purchase of a defined asbestos strip-out service for the remainder of a building.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from UKRI for specialist asbestos strip-out within its building estate, delivered through a below-threshold direct-award route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in asbestos removal and controlled building strip-out, with the capacity to manage the complete remaining scope rather than isolated minor tasks. Relevant firms are likely to be established building and facilities management contractors with suitable operational controls, competent personnel, safe working methods and the ability to coordinate site activities and handover. Experience delivering hazardous-material removal for public-sector, research, laboratory or similarly controlled buildings would strengthen credibility, alongside reliable mobilisation and completion management.
