## Summary

This procurement process conducted by Middlesbrough Council involves the award of a contract titled "RH007 - RC009/2024," focusing on responsive maintenance and minor building works. It falls under the construction work industry category and is designed to address performance issues in the existing contractor framework by securing services from SLH Construction NE Limited. The contract is being executed through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, with the award completed on the 18th of March 2026 and contract performance scheduled from the 1st of April 2026 to the 21st of March 2028. The work will primarily be delivered in the UKC12 region, United Kingdom.

With a gross contract value of £700,000, this award presents a substantial opportunity for SLH Construction NE Limited to expand its operations and solidify its presence in the construction sector. Although designed as a direct procurement below the competition threshold, substantial involvement from large-scale construction businesses is anticipated, benefiting those experienced in responsive maintenance and minor works. This tender could be particularly attractive for businesses seeking consistent workflow over an extended period, ensuring a stable revenue stream and opportunities for growth in service delivery efficiency and quality.

## Notice

The current Responsive Maintenance and Minor Works Framework for general building trades provides 3 contractors for selection. However the performance of the contractors is below what is expected and required as per the specification. We hold meetings with the contractors to improve the response and performance. The outcome of the contract management meetings is that one contractor is only interested in Minor Works orders that are valued above PS5K and will not respond to day to day works. A second contractor does not meet response times as they have to travel from Newcastle, they take too long to invoice and quality of works fall short of expectations. The third contractor responds but cannot manage the large amount of orders that we have to issue on a daily basis, which then results in officers time chasing jobs, quotes and invoices. Overall the performance of the Property Services team is failing due to the above issues. The current framework has another 2 years before we re-tender. This award is for us to procure the services of an additional contractor that we have utilised recently and we are confident that they can provide the expected service. We would agree the hourly rate with them and the uplift for materials in line with the current framework.
