Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council is procuring building refurbishment and repair works at Wolverhampton Art Gallery. The scope includes restoring stonework to address public safety issues; repairing the roof and chimneys to stop leaks affecting structural integrity, exhibition areas and valuable collections; upgrading and refurbishing air-handling units to improve efficiency and performance; replacing the obsolete building management system to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and support sustainability; and upgrading the electrical infrastructure to meet current standards and improve reliability. This is a single works requirement covering the gallery in Wolverhampton. The procurement is classified as overhaul and refurbishment work, under CPV 45453000. The council is the public-sector buyer for the contract.

The procurement reached tender: Wolverhampton City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically through www.wolverhamptontenders.com. The deadline for enquiries is 11 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline is 2 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to run from 18 January 2027 to 2 July 2027. Its estimated value is £1,270,000 excluding VAT, or £1,524,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Offers will be evaluated on price at 40%, quality at 50% and social value at 10%. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist construction and building-services contractors able to deliver the combined scope.

This opportunity suits contractors with the capability to manage a coordinated refurbishment programme in a public art-gallery environment. Relevant strengths include safe restoration and repair of stonework, roof and chimney works, and experience resolving water ingress where building fabric and collections may be at risk. Suppliers should also be able to upgrade air-handling equipment, replace building management systems and improve building energy performance, alongside renewing electrical infrastructure to current standards. The requirement is suited to firms that can combine construction, mechanical building services, controls and electrical expertise, either in-house or through reliable delivery partners. It may suit SMEs, particularly established refurbishment contractors with appropriate technical teams, project management capacity and experience working in occupied or sensitive public buildings.
