Asbestos Removal Tenders and Contracts

An asbestos removal tender is a public sector contract for surveying, removing or disposing of asbestos-containing materials, usually ahead of demolition, refurbishment or repair work. Notices are published by councils, NHS trusts, housing associations, universities and other public bodies across the UK.

Stotles brings together asbestos removal tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Asbestos removal is often let inside demolition, refurbishment and housing repairs frameworks, so look for it within those notices as well as under its own title.

Asbestos removal tenders are scored on price alongside method statements, air monitoring arrangements, programme and safety record. Housing landlords and buying groups run removal frameworks, so a framework place opens up repeat work.

Licensable asbestos removal needs a licence from the Health and Safety Executive under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, and analysts and surveyors are usually expected to be UKAS-accredited. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar contracts at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Public bodies procure asbestos removal work through open tenders, direct awards for smaller jobs, or framework agreements that cover several buyers at once. Contracts are usually awarded to specialist licensed contractors rather than general building firms.

Councils, housing associations, universities and NHS trusts are regular buyers, alongside other public bodies responsible for maintaining schools, housing stock and public buildings. Many run open tenders or set up framework agreements covering removal, surveying and testing work together.

Read asbestos management plans, refurbishment and demolition programmes, housing repairs budgets and expiry dates for existing asbestos frameworks, which show asbestos removal work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
