GRAHAM has been awarded a major building fabric repair and maintenance and minor building works contract by Sandwell Council.

The Midlands-based construction and facilities management contractor will deliver a range of repairs and maintenance to non-housing buildings and external areas, including minor capital works for new build, refurbishment, and alteration projects, across the West Midlands council’s expansive property portfolio.

Facilities and amenities, such as public buildings and associated structures, offices, schools, community centres and parks all fall under the scope of the contract.

Procured through Constructing West Midlands, the call off agreement covers a four-year term. It is a further extension of Sandwell Council’s successful long-term relationship with GRAHAM that stretches back to 2013.

Sandwell is a metropolitan borough in the Black Country, which is made up of six towns - Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich. The council is responsible for the provision of services to over 325,000 residents.

Commenting on the selection of GRAHAM, Tammy Stokes, Interim Director of Regeneration & Growth, said: Following a competitive procurement process that assessed both cost and quality outcomes we felt that GRAHAM was the perfect fit for this important contract and we look forward to working with to help us to achieve our ‘big plans, for a great place’.”
