## Summary

Gosport Borough Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the removal of asbestos containing materials from the Criterion Theatre, located at 143 Forton Road, Gosport, PO12 3HA. The procurement was conducted as an open competition, identified as being below the threshold, and followed legal guidelines set out in UKPGA 2023/54. This procurement process, which focused on the services industry category, transitioned from the tender stage in November 2025 to the award and contract stage by January 2026. The contract period is set from 16th January 2026 to 27th February 2026, with the possibility of extension. SAFE STRIP UK LIMITED, a small-to-medium enterprise based in Sunderland, has been appointed as the supplier for this significant refurbishment step.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in asbestos removal services, as it underscores the demand for expertise in de-risking properties through the safe removal of hazardous materials. The open competition nature of this procurement process provides a level playing field, encouraging participation from qualified service providers that can deliver high-quality work within stipulated timeframes. Businesses that demonstrate a strong capability in handling hazardous industrial processes, alongside competitive pricing and quality, stand to benefit from engaging with contracts of this nature, thereby enhancing growth and broadening their operational portfolio.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to appoint a supplier to remove asbestos from the Criterion following an Asbestos Refurbishment & Demolition Survey undertaken in August. These works are required before further refurbishment works can be undertaken, and in any event are helpful to de-risk the property from hazardous materials.
