## Summary

The Mercian Trust contracted for demolition works at 55 and 56 Lichfield Street, known as The Cottages. The scope is the demolition of the two properties; the procurement identifies demolition work as its main activity. The Mercian Trust is the buying organisation, and the work is in the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a single lot, covering the demolition project as a whole. The tender description says the requirement documents were produced by Wakemans Limited and the process was administered by The CPC. This is a property-demolition contract rather than a general construction or building-maintenance requirement, so it is most relevant to firms with the specialist capability to undertake demolition works.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CITY DEMOLITION CONTRACTORS (BIRMINGHAM) LIMITED. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 15 October to 30 November 2026. Its stated value is £85,217 excluding VAT, or £102,260.40 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was procured as one lot, with no separate awards to report. The published procurement information does not set out award-scoring criteria or supplier eligibility conditions, so the basis for selecting the contractor cannot be described more specifically. The successful supplier is based in Birmingham.

For demolition contractors, this award is evidence that The Mercian Trust buys targeted demolition of named properties through a limited competition below the public procurement threshold. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the practical capability and operational capacity to demolish buildings safely and complete the work within a tightly defined project programme. Experience delivering property demolitions for public-sector clients would be relevant to showing that the firm can manage the work and meet the buyer’s requirements. The award went to a large Birmingham-based demolition contractor, providing a clear example of the kind of specialist supplier engaged. Businesses whose work is limited to new-build construction, general facilities management or unrelated building services are less closely aligned with this requirement.
