Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council commissioned design-and-build works at Green Hill Lodge to create a refurbished facility for amalgamated Adult Social Care services. The requirement covers fire compliance and refurbishment, including fire-prevention installation works and installation of fire protection equipment. The project responds to fire safety and compliance issues in ageing properties currently used for the service: 35 Worth Crescent, Pershore Short Breaks and Worcester Resource Centre. Delivery is in the West Midlands, at Green Hill Lodge. This is a construction works opportunity involving both building refurbishment and specialist fire protection installation. The council is the buyer and contract user, with the works intended to support the consolidation of existing service provision into one refurbished adult social care facility.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 March 2026 to Speller Metcalfe Malvern Limited. The awarded value is £1,498,629.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 13 April 2026 to 4 September 2026. The original tender deadline was 24 March 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The route was a selective call-off from the Construction West Midlands framework, Lot 1, for works under £5 million. The procurement category was works. One supplier received the award, which is recorded as active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and unsuitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available evaluation basis is the framework call-off route rather than a separately stated criterion.

This award demonstrates established demand from Worcestershire County Council for integrated fire-compliance and refurbishment delivery in adult social care buildings. A credible future competitor would need to combine principal-contractor capacity with design-and-build capability, fire-prevention installation expertise and the ability to manage compliance-led refurbishment in an occupied or service-sensitive public-sector environment. Relevant experience would include upgrading ageing facilities, coordinating specialist fire protection work with wider building works, and delivering a complete refurbished operational site rather than a standalone installation package. The requirement was sourced through the Construction West Midlands framework, so suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer would need an appropriate framework position or a route to participate through an appointed framework contractor. SME-scale organisations may be well placed to compete where they can demonstrate this combined capability.
