Summary of the contracting process

Redditch Borough Council commissioned scaffolding works for residential properties it owns and manages. The work covers the erection and dismantling of scaffolding and related scaffolding structures. The contract is for housing in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify particular towns or property sites. This is a construction works requirement rather than a supply-only purchase, involving the provision and removal of access structures at council homes. The council is the buyer, with Ridge and Partners LLP identified as responsible for specification, scoring and the contract. The requirement is presented as one package covering the council’s residential properties, rather than separate property or geographic lots.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to L & M Domestic Scaffolding Limited. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 19 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029. Its value is £2.4 million excluding VAT (£2.88 million including VAT). The estimated contract period in the tender ran from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2029. This was a below-threshold open competition. Bids were evaluated on a basis of 70% price and 30% quality. The tender deadline was 9 July 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for enquiries was 25 June 2026 at 23:59. The procurement was not divided into lots.

This award shows that Redditch Borough Council buys scaffolding services for its housing portfolio on a multi-year, substantial-scale basis, through open competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver safe, dependable erection and dismantling of scaffolding at residential properties, and manage work across a portfolio rather than a single site. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business can compete for this kind of council contract. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the quality of their delivery as well as competitive pricing, since quality accounted for 30% of the evaluation. Relevant experience in domestic scaffolding and the operational capacity to support repeated residential property work would be commercially pertinent to a similar requirement from this buyer.
