Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Air Force Museum commissioned asbestos-removal works. The scope covered setting up a controlled asbestos work area, removing asbestos-containing materials, including asbestos cement panels, and cleaning asbestos cement and felt debris. It also included post-removal reassurance air testing by a UKAS-accredited analyst and certification confirming the area was clean on completion. Delivery covered locations across north-east, north-west, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East and West Midlands, eastern and south-east England, London and the South West. The requirement was for practical asbestos-removal and clearance work, including independent accredited testing and documented confirmation that the work area met the cleanliness standard.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Insulation Contracting Services Limited. The Museum used a limited competition below the applicable threshold, with one lot. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and ran from 14 to 30 September 2026. Its value was £28,400 excluding VAT (£34,080 including VAT). The evaluation basis and detailed eligibility conditions are not set out in the available process information.

This award demonstrates demand from the Royal Air Force Museum for asbestos-removal works across a broad range of English regions. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver controlled asbestos removal and debris cleaning, including handling asbestos cement panels and felt debris, and provide post-removal reassurance air testing through a UKAS-accredited analyst. The work also calls for the ability to arrange and manage an asbestos work area and supply completion certification confirming the area is clean. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of work was undertaken by an SME; the requirement centred on specialist asbestos capability and accredited clearance evidence.
