UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority is procuring building works to install small sleeping accommodation rooms for one person, described as Dignity Rooms, at five fire stations: Binley, Hay Mills and Highgate in Coventry, Walsall, and Wolverhampton. The scope is split into five separate lots, one for each station. The stated room quantities are six at Binley, eight at Hay Mills, nine at Highgate, nine at Walsall and eight at Wolverhampton. The work is for the Authority’s fire station premises in the West Midlands. Suppliers whose building or construction work includes fitting out small, single-occupant sleeping rooms may find the requirement relevant; firms can consider individual station packages rather than treating the procurement as one undivided site.

The Authority invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 16 October 2026 at 23:59, and bids were due by 3 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period for each lot runs from 4 January to 31 March 2027. The gross estimated values are £140,000 for Binley, £120,000 for Hay Mills, £156,000 for Highgate, £120,000 for Walsall and £100,000 for Wolverhampton; the overall estimated value is £636,000 gross. Each lot is assessed on price (70%), quality (25%) and social value (5%). To qualify for a lot, annual turnover must exceed twice that lot’s estimated value. The procurement is divided into five station-specific lots.

This opportunity suits building contractors able to deliver construction or refurbishment work inside operational fire station premises and to provide small, single-occupant sleeping accommodation rooms. The separate station lots allow businesses to focus on a location or package that matches their delivery capacity, while firms able to resource work across multiple sites may consider more than one lot. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate annual turnover above twice the estimated value of each lot they pursue. Price has the largest stated evaluation weighting, with quality also material and social value included. The requirement therefore favours contractors able to offer a competitive price while presenting a strong quality response and social value contribution. No specific trade accreditation, technical standard or prior-project experience is stated in the procurement information.
