## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council procured repair works for council properties that were empty between occupancies. The requirement covered construction and property repair activity needed to bring void homes back into service during an interim period, while the council carried out a separate procurement exercise. The buying organisation is Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, based at Sandwell Council House in Oldbury. The work relates to the council’s own housing stock in the Sandwell area. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity, and is relevant to contractors with experience of diagnosing, managing and completing repairs in unoccupied public-sector residential properties, including the practical coordination needed to return homes to use.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. VINCI Construction UK Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2027, covering an interim six-month period. Its value is £450,000 excluding VAT, or £540,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, as is the associated award, and the stated purpose was to provide repairs while a separate procurement exercise was undertaken.

For a contractor assessing future work from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates demand for substantial, responsive repair delivery across empty council properties, at a scale suited to an established construction or housing-maintenance business. A credible supplier would need the operational capacity to take responsibility for multiple void properties, identify and resolve varied building defects, manage materials and trades, and complete works to a standard that allows homes to be reoccupied. Experience of public-sector housing, repair scheduling, site safety, quality control and handover would be directly relevant. The award to a large construction company also indicates that the buyer valued a supplier able to mobilise quickly and manage an interim programme while maintaining consistent delivery across its housing stock.
