## Summary

Royal Holloway and Bedford New College bought asbestos-removal works for a tunnel at Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, South East England. The work was delivered as a works contract and concerned removal of asbestos; the procurement description identifies the tunnel but gives no further breakdown of the works. The university was the buyer, and Cabot Thermals Limited was selected to carry out the removal. The requirement was procured through the North Eastern Universities Consortium framework for asbestos removal services. This is a specialist hazardous-materials remediation requirement for suppliers with relevant asbestos-removal capability and experience in working safely in tunnel environments.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Cabot Thermals Limited on 5 August 2026. The awarded value was £46,762. The contract period ran from 17 August to 1 October 2026. The submission deadline was 4 August 2026. The works were procured through the North Eastern Universities Consortium framework for asbestos removal services; the recorded procurement method is described only as “Other”. The award record does not set out evaluation criteria, selection requirements or a division into lots. The awarded supplier and value relate to this single contract. The contract period and award date describe the completed procurement outcome, rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

For suppliers that did not win, the award demonstrates demand from Royal Holloway for specialist asbestos removal in a university tunnel, routed through the North Eastern Universities Consortium asbestos-removal framework. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need demonstrable asbestos-removal expertise and the operational capability to plan and undertake hazardous-material work in a constrained tunnel setting. The selected supplier was a large company, and the buyer marked the procurement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this indicates the scale or delivery profile favoured an established contractor, rather than a small or community provider. Relevant experience in safely managing site-specific risks and delivering removal works in university infrastructure would therefore strengthen a supplier’s position when this same requirement is next considered.
