What counts as demolition work in public procurement?

Demolition contracts take down a building or structure, in whole or in part, together with the enabling and temporary works that go with it. Earthmoving and site preparation ahead of a new build are included when they are let with the demolition.

How do I find demolition contracts before they are formally tendered?

Read regeneration masterplans, capital programmes, planning applications for replacement buildings and estate disposal plans, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the councils and public bodies behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Is demolition let on its own or as part of a wider contract?

Both. Some buyers let a standalone demolition contract for a single building. Others include the demolition in a design and build or refurbishment contract, so the notice is titled for the new building rather than for the demolition.

What CPV codes cover demolition tenders?

Demolition notices carry 45111100 (Demolition work), 45111000 (Demolition, site preparation and clearance work) and 45111200 (Site preparation and clearance work).

Demolition Tenders and Contracts

See open demolition tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Demolition procurement covers taking down buildings and structures, the enabling and temporary works that go with demolition, soft strip and earthmoving ahead of a new build, from leisure centres to school blocks, housing blocks, retail units and barracks. Asbestos removal and site clearance often sit in the same scope.

Demolition is let as a standalone contract for a single building, or folded into a design and build or refurbishment contract, and sometimes called off a demolition framework. Demolition contracts are placed by councils clearing a site for new homes or a regeneration scheme, defence and other public bodies replacing an existing building, and utilities preparing ground for infrastructure.
