## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council has completed its procurement process for the "Minor Aids and Adaptations Delivery" project, a venture focusing on the construction industry. This contract involves various minor adaptations to residential properties, such as the installation of grab rails and the provision of ramps, with a total budget of £1,500,000. The Council is situated in Oldbury, within the UKG37 region, and the successful tender was awarded to Bax Construction Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Wolverhampton. The procurement process concluded with a contract award on 1st July 2026, and the contract period is set from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and building completion work, particularly those offering solutions for residential modifications. Companies specializing in the installation of minor structural adjustments like stair rails, handrails, and shower installations will find this contract beneficial for growth. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction sector have been prioritized, as evidenced by Bax Construction Ltd's award despite being an SME, underlining the Council's commitment to nurturing local business.
