## Summary

The Black Country Framework for Minor Works, awarded by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, encompasses a range of highways and civil minor construction works in the West Midlands region. Key activities under this framework include minor highway improvements, drainage installation, and construction of transport-related infrastructures. The framework commenced on 1 November 2021 and will last for three years, concluding on 31 October 2024, with potential for a one-year extension. The total estimated value of the works ranges from £10 million to £50 million, with packages divided into three lots based on financial thresholds. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the deadline for tenders was on 24 August 2021.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in construction, particularly those skilled in civil engineering and infrastructure development. Businesses that can manage projects within the defined financial thresholds and possess experience in highways and drainage works will be well-suited to compete. With the framework catering to multiple local authorities, participating suppliers can benefit from a steady pipeline of work across various lots, enhancing their growth potential in the sector.
