UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured responsive repairs and building works and services to support its internal team and meet demand arising under Awaab’s Law. The requirement is categorised as building construction work and covers activity delivered in Somerset, including the council’s operational area in Taunton. This is a works opportunity for contractors able to provide responsive property repairs and associated building services alongside an in-house public-sector maintenance function. The procurement concerns one completed requirement awarded for delivery in the United Kingdom. It is relevant to building maintenance, repairs and construction businesses with the operational capability to respond to council demand and carry out building work across the required service area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. One award was made to Westcountry Maintenance Services Ltd, an active supplier, and the contract was signed on 30 June 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £210,000 excluding VAT and £252,000 including VAT. The requirement was treated as a single lot, with the award covering building construction work. The contracting route was direct award without competition, so the opportunity was not evaluated through an open bidding exercise. Somerset Council is the buyer and Westcountry Maintenance Services Ltd is the selected contractor.

This award indicates recurring public-sector demand for responsive repairs and building services that supplement an internal council team and support obligations under Awaab’s Law. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical building and property-repair capability, the capacity to handle responsive demand, and experience working alongside a public-sector client’s own operational staff. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large national contractor. Businesses with dependable repair teams, suitable building-work expertise and the organisational capacity to manage council instructions and service demand are the closest commercial comparators for this buyer.
