Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned construction and repair works to bring vacant council properties back into use. The requirement covers repairs to void properties during an interim period while a separate procurement exercise is undertaken. The work is for council-owned housing or other council properties in the Sandwell area, with the council based in Oldbury. The main work category is construction work, including the practical repair activities needed before vacant properties can be occupied or otherwise returned to service. This is a local authority property-maintenance requirement rather than a general construction project, and is relevant to contractors that deliver building repairs and refurbishment works for public-sector property portfolios.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one lot. Tyrer Building Contractors was awarded the contract, which was signed on 1 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its value is £450,000 excluding VAT and £540,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated purpose is to provide an interim six-month repair service while the council undertakes a separate procurement exercise. The contracting authority is Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, and the award covers the full requirement rather than separately identified suppliers or lots.

This procurement demonstrates substantial demand from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council for responsive building repairs to vacant council properties, delivered as a time-limited interim service. It is relevant to construction and property-maintenance businesses with the workforce, management arrangements and practical repair capability to handle a council housing or property portfolio at this scale. The selected supplier, Tyrer Building Contractors, is recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor rather than only by a large national organisation. Businesses seeking similar work should be able to evidence dependable delivery of varied construction repairs, suitable capacity for multiple vacant properties and experience working to public-sector requirements. The council’s use of a separate procurement exercise indicates this is a defined service need within its property operations.
