## Summary

The procurement process led by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involved the asbestos removal from the upper basement of the 1894 Building at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh. The contract was awarded on 22nd June 2026 to Damada Asbestos Removals Ltd, a supplier based in East Kilbride, Scotland. This falls under the 'works' industry category, with the main activity being asbestos-removal work. The procurement was conducted using a direct method, below the threshold without competition, and it is now in the 'award' stage. The contract encompasses a specific time frame, commencing on 22nd June 2026 and concluding on 31st July 2026, with a gross value of £49,554.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in asbestos removal and similar construction services. Companies that can supply expert asbestos management or removal with efficiency and safety would be well-suited to engage in or expand through similar future contracts. Although this specific contract was conducted directly without open competition, it underscores the demand for niche, skilled services within public sector infrastructure maintenance, providing a potential market for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in related fields.
