## Summary

South Lakes Housing procured asbestos-removal works for domestic properties and offices that it owns or manages. The requirement covered two workstreams: reactive asbestos-removal work and separately tendered works. The main work is classified as asbestos-removal work (CPV 45262660). Delivery addresses span England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. South Lakes Housing is based in Kendal and is the organisation responsible for buying the works. The arrangement appointed three suppliers to provide the required asbestos-removal services across the relevant housing and office portfolio.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 August 2026 following a below-threshold limited competition. Four suppliers submitted bids, all four reached the final stage, and all four final-stage bidders were SMEs. The award was made to EMCHIA Asbestos Solutions Limited, Asbestos and Air Management Services Ltd, and Greenfield Removals Limited. The awarded value is £700,000 excluding VAT (£840,000 including VAT). The contract runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 August 2029, with a maximum possible end date of 31 August 2031. South Lakes Housing may award two one-year extensions at its sole discretion. One completed lot covered the full requirement, including both reactive and tendered works.

This award demonstrates established demand from South Lakes Housing for specialist asbestos-removal contractors serving domestic properties and offices across a wide area of England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver both reactive responses and planned, tendered asbestos-removal works, while coordinating work across occupied housing and operational office environments. The successful supply base consisted of three SMEs, showing that the requirement can be delivered by smaller specialist firms, either individually or through suitable delivery arrangements. Relevant capability is practical asbestos identification, safe removal, site management and compliant completion of work at scale, with sufficient operational capacity to handle both urgent reactive instructions and programmed workloads across multiple locations. Experience of working for a housing provider would also strengthen a future bid.
