Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority procured works to reconstruct the internal walls of Oldbury Fire House. This is a building and construction requirement involving the removal, rebuilding or repair of internal wall structures within an operational fire service property. The work is associated with the authority’s Fire Service Headquarters in Birmingham and delivery is identified for the United Kingdom, with Oldbury named as the site. Businesses relevant to this requirement include building contractors experienced in internal structural or partition wall reconstruction, refurbishment and related civil engineering work. The buyer is a public authority responsible for fire and rescue services across the West Midlands, so suppliers familiar with public-sector buildings and fire-service premises may find the requirement particularly relevant.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award was made to Three Pines Building Co. Limited on 14 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active, running from 14 July 2026 to 14 October 2026. Its gross value is £48,792.80. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract covers the single requirement for Oldbury Fire House internal wall reconstruction. Evaluation was not competitive because the buyer used a direct award route below the applicable threshold. The recorded procurement category is works, covering construction and civil engineering activity. The contract is expected to be delivered at Oldbury Fire House in the West Midlands.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need practical capability in reconstructing internal walls within an existing public building, managing refurbishment or building works safely, and delivering the specified construction outcome at a modest project scale. Experience working around operational premises would be useful, particularly where access, safety, coordination and continuity of public services matter. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was deliverable by a smaller building contractor rather than only a national construction business. Relevant competitors would benefit from demonstrable internal wall, construction or civil engineering experience, reliable site management and the ability to complete a defined building package for a fire and rescue authority. Familiarity with public-sector contracting and below-threshold direct-award routes would also help suppliers understand this buyer’s purchasing approach.
