Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has concluded the procurement of independent damp and mould surveying services, as part of its commitment to address housing standards within its locale. This completed tender, categorized under 'Building surveying services', forms a strategic contract designed to replace ad hoc surveying arrangements in response to recent regulatory changes. The project entails inspecting, assessing, and reporting on damp and mould issues in council properties, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements with a contract period from June 2025 to June 2028. An open procurement method was utilised, culminating in the award to Pennington Choices Ltd on 11th June 2025. The contract, valued at £54,000, underscores the necessity of enhanced service management and timely compliance with regulatory standards, located within the West Midlands region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for entities specialising in housing and building services, particularly those with capabilities in managing fluctuating workloads and delivering detailed diagnostic assessments. As this is a recurring contract essential for statutory services, investments in expertise and quality service delivery will render a competitive edge in securing long-term engagements. While the procurement was conducted via an open procedure, businesses that can offer cost efficiencies and operational adaptability, especially those familiar with legislative compliance in building services, would find this opportunity aligned with their growth strategies. Although targeted primarily towards larger businesses, given the contract's scale and complexity, it may also encourage partnerships and collaborations with more niche consultancy firms.
