Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking contractors for an interim programme of housing improvement, retrofit and electrical works to its properties. The work responds to stock-condition surveys, maintenance records and resident feedback, with priorities based on urgency, health and safety risks, and repeated repairs. It covers kitchen and bathroom replacements; new windows and external doors; roof renewals; plastering, flooring and associated minor structural repairs; full or partial rewiring, consumer units, earthing and bonding, alarms, testing and certification; and energy-efficiency measures such as insulation, ventilation, draught-proofing and heating controls, with associated making good and decoration. The purpose is to meet current housing standards, reduce responsive repairs and prevent further property deterioration. This is construction work for delivery across Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council’s housing stock.

The Council invited bids through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 13 November 2026 at 15:00 GMT; the deadline for enquiries was 6 November 2026 at 17:00 GMT. The anticipated award decision date was 27 November 2026. The contract is planned to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2029. The stated estimated value is £16 million excluding VAT (£19.2 million including VAT), described as £9.6 million including VAT per annum. The Council says these figures are indicative and do not guarantee business. There is one lot. Bids are assessed on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%.

This opportunity suits building contractors able to deliver a varied, coordinated programme across occupied or existing housing, covering component replacement, roofing, plastering, flooring and minor structural repairs alongside electrical upgrades and retrofit work. Suppliers need the practical capacity to undertake full or partial rewires, replace consumer units, upgrade earthing and bonding, fit smoke and heat alarms where required, and provide testing, inspection, certification and supporting records. Retrofit capability should include property-suitable insulation, ventilation improvements, draught-proofing, heating controls and associated reinstatement and decoration. The programme calls for work to be prioritised against urgency, health and safety implications and repeat repairs, with delivery supporting current housing standards and improved energy efficiency. Quality accounts for a substantial part of the evaluation, alongside price.
