Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority procured refurbishment works to the ablution facilities at three fire stations: Foleshill and Sheldon in Coventry and Birmingham respectively, and Wolverhampton. The requirement was divided by site, covering the facilities at each station. The works fall within building refurbishment rather than a supply-only contract, and the buyer is the fire and rescue authority responsible for the West Midlands. This is a facilities improvement requirement at operational fire service premises, so relevant businesses are building contractors with experience delivering refurbishment work in public-sector or comparable occupied buildings. The three named sites identify the geographical scope; the procurement does not describe the detailed building works or technical specification in the structured information.

The procurement is complete and all three lots have been awarded following an open competition below the threshold. Nine bids were recorded for each lot. Connect Construction Group Ltd won Foleshill for £27,841; Specialist Development Contracts Ltd won Sheldon for £39,890; and Ashby Construction Midlands Ltd won Wolverhampton for £74,603.07. The award date for each was 6 October 2026. The contracts are scheduled to run from 20 October 2026: Foleshill and Sheldon through 31 March 2027, and Wolverhampton through 9 February 2027. The original tender deadline was 11 September 2026. Evaluation for each lot weighted price at 70%, quality at 25% and social value at 5%.

This award shows demand from West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority for site-specific refurbishment of ablution facilities at fire stations, with separate contracts awarded for each location. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical building refurbishment capability and the capacity to deliver work at operational fire service sites. The stated selection requirement for the Foleshill lot included annual turnover of at least £100,000 and health and safety awareness training; the lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The scoring placed most weight on price, while still giving material weight to quality and a smaller share to social value, so suppliers would need competitive pricing alongside a convincing quality and social-value offer. Each lot attracted nine bids, indicating competition from multiple suppliers.
