Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council commissioned light refurbishment works to the children’s libraries at the Central Library and Bilston Library in Wolverhampton. The work covers repairs to damaged wall plaster, redecoration and installation of new floor finishes. At Bilston, the council was responsible for removing the books, shelving and reception counter before work began. The requirement is a small, focused refurbishment across two library locations, rather than a broader library fit-out or construction project. The work falls within building refurbishment. The council is the buyer and the works are for its library facilities in Wolverhampton.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to WILLIAM GOUGH & SONS LIMITED. The council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot covering the refurbishment. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 12 October to 27 November 2026. Its value is £43,333.02 excluding VAT (£51,999.62 including VAT). The selected supplier is responsible for plaster repairs, decoration and new floor finishes at both libraries. A mandatory site visit formed part of the procurement arrangements. The published information identifies the limited competition route but does not set out the evaluation criteria used to select the supplier.

This award shows demand from Wolverhampton City Council for small-scale refurbishment of public library interiors, including plaster repairs, decorating and floor-finishing work across more than one site. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver these trades reliably within a short, coordinated programme and be equipped to work in operating public buildings. The Bilston scope also shows the value of planning around the buyer’s preparations: the council arranged removal of books, shelving and the reception counter before work started. The successful supplier is a small and medium-sized business, indicating that this scale of works can be delivered by an SME. Relevant experience in occupied civic or library environments and the ability to organise a mandatory site visit would support a competitive offer.
