Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

First Choice Homes Oldham Limited procured asbestos removal services to safely remove asbestos identified in its properties. The work concerns housing stock owned or managed by the organisation in the Oldham area of Greater Manchester. The requirement is for specialist contractors able to carry out safe asbestos removal across the buyer’s properties, rather than a purchase of goods or general building work. This gives asbestos-removal businesses serving social housing and residential property portfolios a clear indication of the type of work commissioned by this buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Airsafe UK Limited. First Choice Homes Oldham used a restricted procedure, with price as the stated award criterion; seven bids were recorded. The contract was signed on 18 May 2026 and is valued at £3,056,224. The planned fixed term is four years. The buyer reserved discretion to extend the contract by variation if needed to support retendering timescales. The sole lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome identifies Airsafe UK Limited as the selected supplier.

For asbestos-removal firms considering similar work for First Choice Homes Oldham, this award demonstrates demand for a sizeable, multi-year service covering identified asbestos across the buyer’s housing properties. A credible competitor would need the specialist capability to assess and safely remove asbestos in occupied or managed residential settings, and sufficient operational capacity to serve a property portfolio over an extended term. The recorded evaluation basis was price, so competitive pricing would matter alongside safe, dependable delivery. Airsafe UK Limited, recorded as an SME, won the contract, showing that a smaller specialist supplier can compete for this requirement. Past performance in housing or comparable property environments would help demonstrate that the work can be delivered reliably at portfolio scale.
