## Summary

The City & County of Swansea procured specialist services for the Pilot Cutter Seamark, including asbestos removal followed by disassembly and recycling of the vessel’s superstructure, machinery and hull. The work is a services contract focused on hazardous-material removal, marine vessel dismantling and recycling. Delivery is in Swansea, at or associated with the vessel’s location. The requirement was structured as a single package and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It concerns a specific marine asset rather than a general asbestos-removal framework, so relevant businesses are likely to be contractors combining licensed asbestos capability with marine engineering, drydock, dismantling and materials-recycling facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Swansea Drydocks Limited was selected on 6 August 2026 for £78,348 excluding VAT, or £94,017.60 including VAT. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 11 August 2026. The award and contract are active. The procurement used one package covering the full Seamark requirement, with no competitive tender or separate lot evaluation described. The outcome therefore reflects a direct appointment for the specified vessel-removal and recycling services, rather than a scored competition between suppliers.

This award indicates demand from the City & County of Swansea for a supplier able to manage asbestos risks and complete marine-vessel dismantling within a tightly defined operational window. A credible future competitor would need the relevant asbestos-removal competence and controls, together with practical capability to disassemble a vessel’s superstructure, machinery and hull and route the resulting materials for recycling. Marine access, drydock or comparable facilities, suitably qualified personnel, waste handling arrangements and experience working safely around complex vessel structures would strengthen its position. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, suggesting that a focused specialist or a coordinated supply chain could be relevant, provided it can take responsibility for the complete service.
