Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council procured Disabled Facilities Grant adaptation works for domestic properties across Wolverhampton, to help disabled residents live more independently and safely. The work covers three geographic areas: East, West and North. It includes level-access showers and bathroom alterations, associated plumbing and electrical installation, minor building works, more complex adaptation packages where required, and external access improvements. External work may include handrailing, driveway works, dropped-kerb interface works and making good. This is a construction and refurbishment requirement combining building alteration, bathroom, plumbing, sanitary and electrical work. Wolverhampton Homes Limited is also identified as a buyer. The requirement is delivered within the city of Wolverhampton and is split between the three HIA operating areas and corresponding Social Care boundaries.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an above-threshold open procedure. Three separate awards were made on 15 May 2026: Lot 1 East to Grelson Limited at £6,469,333.33 net (£7,763,200 gross); Lot 2 West to Interiors Direct Limited at £6,469,333.33 net (£7,763,200 gross); and Lot 3 North to Bax Construction Ltd at £6,469,333.34 net (£7,763,200 gross). Each award covers 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028, with two possible one-year extensions to 31 May 2030. Contracts were signed on 1 July 2026, each recorded at £4,336,000 gross, and run to 30 June 2028, with extensions to 30 June 2030. Evaluation weighted commercial price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%.

This requirement suits SME contractors able to manage domestic adaptations from survey and design through to construction, installation and making good. Credible suppliers need practical experience of level-access bathrooms, accessible plumbing and electrical work, building alterations, refurbishment and external access improvements, including handrails, driveways and dropped-kerb interfaces. The breadth of work favours businesses that can coordinate several trades and deliver both routine adaptations and more complex packages across a defined geographic area. Strong quality systems, reliable programme control and effective defect prevention are important: the contracts monitor cost overruns, programme overruns and defects at completion monthly. Social value also formed part of the assessment, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate measurable local or community benefits alongside safe, resident-focused delivery.
