## Summary

Herefordshire Council commissioned refurbishment of the John Haider Building in Hereford to create 28 units of emergency accommodation. This is a building refurbishment and construction project, focused on adapting an existing property for emergency housing. The work is located in Hereford and was procured as a single requirement. It serves the council’s accommodation needs; the stated scope is the refurbishment and provision of the 28 units.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Speller Metcalfe Malvern Ltd. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and is active, with a recorded value of £177,747.35. Herefordshire Council used a limited procedure without a published competition, following further competition through the Procure Partnership National Contractor Framework and West Midlands Framework. Two bids were recorded. The requirement was divided into one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the procurement data while the award and contract are active. Evaluation placed 58% on quality, 12% on social value and 30% on price. The contract allows reasonable extensions of time where delay is beyond the supplier’s control, subject to notice.

For construction contractors, this award shows Herefordshire Council buying refurbishment work to create emergency accommodation through further competition under established contractor frameworks. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need relevant experience refurbishing existing buildings and the delivery capability to convert them into usable accommodation. The evaluation gave most weight to quality, with social value also assessed alongside price, so strong delivery plans and demonstrable social value would matter as well as a competitive cost. The selected supplier was a large contractor, and two bids were recorded, indicating competition for this requirement. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need to be able to operate through the relevant framework route and deliver a defined, single-building project for a public-sector client.
