UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured construction works at the White Building on Palmer Lane in Coventry. The requirement was to demolish and rebuild a wall, including associated demolition work. The work forms a building repair and reconstruction project rather than a supply-only purchase or consultancy service. Delivery is in Coventry, for a council-owned or council-managed building identified as the White Building. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was handled as a single construction package. Businesses suited to this opportunity would typically provide site-based demolition, building and wall reconstruction services, with the practical capability to manage works at an occupied or operational public-sector property where applicable. The procurement concerned one completed lot covering the stated works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Coventry City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and awarded on the same date to Union Contractors (Midlands) Limited. The awarded value is £200,792.27 excluding VAT, or £240,950.72 including VAT. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 26 October 2026. The award covers the single lot for the White Building wall demolition and rebuild. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome confirms the selected supplier and the completed award, but does not state individual quality, price or other scoring criteria.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Coventry City Council for specialist, site-based construction work combining demolition with rebuilding. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven ability to safely demolish existing masonry or other wall structures, prepare the site and construct the replacement wall to the required specification. Relevant experience of public-sector or comparable commercial building works would help demonstrate reliability, site management and compliance with construction obligations. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a business of modest scale could be capable of delivering this type of council project. Firms considering similar work should be able to manage a defined, short-duration construction package and provide the practical workforce, supervision and equipment needed for demolition and reconstruction.
