Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council procured construction works through call-offs from its Maintenance and Minor Works Framework Agreement. The requirement covers maintenance and minor building works ordered by the council, rather than a single defined construction project. The main category is construction work (CPV 45000000), delivered across the West Midlands. The framework is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The awarded suppliers indicate a range of trade capabilities, including general services, construction, vehicle-related works, heating and electrical services, plumbing and heating, electrical contracting, and building-related works. The buyer is Staffordshire County Council, based in Stafford. This opportunity therefore concerns businesses able to deliver responsive maintenance and smaller construction assignments for a county council across the West Midlands.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure above the applicable threshold. The tender deadline was 7 February 2024 at 12:00. The framework contract period runs from 1 May 2024 to 30 April 2028, while the reported call-offs cover 1 May 2026 to 31 July 2026. Awards were made on 1 May 2026 to eight suppliers: G Evans Services Ltd (£152,203.75); R A Edwards & Partners Ltd (£272,442.03); Fords of Blythe Bridge (£66,985); Heatelect Limited (£177,013.76); M W Cripwell Ltd (£76,685); Plumbing and Heating Servs (Staffs) Ltd (£106,501); Bourne Electrical Contractors Ltd (£179,701.75); and Meachen & Bevan (Uttoxeter) Ltd (£37,044.84). The procurement value is £55,000,000. The process used the open procedure, with awards made through the framework call-off arrangements.

This award shows sustained council demand for planned and responsive maintenance and minor works, delivered through a multi-supplier framework rather than by one contractor. The successful field is dominated by SMEs, demonstrating that smaller specialist businesses can participate alongside general contractors. Relevant competitors would need the practical capacity to handle council orders across the West Midlands, respond reliably to varied requirements, and deliver work to public-sector standards. The awarded supplier mix points to value in general maintenance capability as well as specialist heating, plumbing, electrical and construction expertise. Businesses with complementary trade teams, dependable operational coverage and experience coordinating small works would be well placed when this type of requirement returns. The range of awarded call-off values also indicates opportunities for firms able to manage both modest assignments and larger packages, without requiring a single supplier to provide every trade.
