Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council procured repairs to vacant council properties in Sandwell. The work covered an interim service for void properties while a separate procurement exercise was undertaken. It is a works requirement involving construction and property repair activity, delivered across the council’s housing stock in the Sandwell area. The buying organisation is Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, based at Sandwell Council House in Oldbury. The selected supplier, Bryant Electrical (Midlands) Limited, is based in Tipton and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to contractors able to diagnose and complete repairs in empty public-sector homes, make properties ready for occupation and coordinate responsive works across a local authority housing portfolio.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Bryant Electrical (Midlands) Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2027, covering six months of interim void-property repairs. Its value is £450,000 excluding VAT, or £540,000 including VAT. The award date is not separately recorded, but the contract signature date confirms when the agreement began. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the requirement was classified as construction work. The contract remains active rather than cancelled or terminated.

This procurement shows a defined demand from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council for contractors able to repair vacant council homes at meaningful local-authority scale. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capacity for void-property repairs, reliable mobilisation, competent trades and electrical or general building capability where required by the property condition. Local coverage around Sandwell and the wider West Midlands would support responsive attendance, inspection, repair and completion across multiple properties. Bryant Electrical (Midlands) Limited’s selection demonstrates that an SME can meet this type of council requirement. Suppliers should be able to manage work orders, coordinate operatives and provide clear evidence of completed repairs and property readiness. Experience of public-sector housing, robust scheduling and consistent quality control would strengthen their position when this buyer next tests the requirement.
