In plain English

Derby City Council is hiring a company to remove asbestos from buildings and another to analyse asbestos samples. This is a two-year contract starting February 2027, with the option to extend for up to three more years. The council estimates it will spend around £1.2 million on removal work and £2.6 million on analysis, but these figures may change if council boundaries or responsibilities shift.

What the buyer wants

• Provide asbestos removal and remediation services (Lot 1), physically removing asbestos from council buildings safely and legally • Provide asbestos analyst services (Lot 2), testing and analysing samples to identify and classify asbestos materials • Be ready to scale up services if Derby City Council's area or responsibilities grow due to local government reorganisation

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: You must hold a current Asbestos Removal License from the HSE (or equivalent) to bid for Lot 1. Most small businesses without this specific qualification will be automatically ruled out. The estimated values are very large (£1.2–£2.6 million), so bidders will need to demonstrate significant financial stability and capacity.
