Welcome to the Sandwell Homes Tenders and Contracts Portal

To ensure we achieve Value for Money we have in place a tender programme to cover the purchase of those goods and services we buy on a regular basis.

Tenders can be either Open tenders or Restricted tenders.

Under the Open Tender procedure all suppliers who respond to an advert are supplied with the tender documents, which they can return if they so wish. This procedure is normally used when we purchase goods.

The Restricted procedure, a two stage process, is used for larger, non standard requirements and Services contracts. Interested parties are invited to undergo a Pre Qualification Assessment before a limited number are invited to tender. It is our policy now that all future suppliers of services should be registered with both Constructionline, (the Government operated Contractor Assessment Service) and CHAS, (the Government operated Contractor Health & Safety Assessment Service) and with this web portal.

Our current and forthcoming tender programme is shown in our Buyer Profile and will be updated quarterly. Potential suppliers can register on this site and then record an interest.

In addition to the regular purchases covered by our Tender programme there are occasions where a "one off" purchase is required and, dependent upon the anticipated cost, these purchases will normally be undertaken using a 3 quotation process. If applicable, potential suppliers will be selected from Constructionline registered companies, if not applicable searches will be undertaken using adverts placed in the local press to identify suitable suppliers; these opportunities will also appear on this website.
