Framework Agreement for Planned And Reactive Maintenance And Minor Works
Framework Description
Staffordshire County Council's Framework Agreement for Planned and Reactive Maintenance and Minor Works provides contractors in five lots: plumbing, surfacing, electrical, roofing and general building. Works typically range from £20,001 to £500,000, with occasional projects outside that range and no maximum cap. The procurement was advertised under Find a Tender notice 012543-2026.
Context & Use Case
It covers council-owned and other public sector estates, including schools, academies, libraries, community buildings, health facilities, emergency services buildings and light industrial units. Work ranges from repairs to alterations, extensions, refurbishments and fit-outs. Some jobs support Disabled Facilities Grant adaptations to private homes administered by public sector organisations, so contractors may work in occupied homes as well as public buildings.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Plumbing Lot 2: Surfacing Works Lot 3: Electrical Works Lot 4: Roofing Services Lot 5: General Building (alterations, extensions, new build, refurbishments, fit-outs, fabric and external works)
Lots
Lot 1 Plumbing; Lot 2 Surfacing Works; Lot 3 Electrical Works; Lot 4 Roofing Services; Lot 5 General Building

Suits building contractors and trades businesses in plumbing, surfacing, electrical, roofing or general building, from local SMEs upwards. The framework is live and closed to new applications; for re-tender timing, check the framework page.
Buyer Benefits
Trade-based lots let buyers go straight to the right specialist for a job, while the wide spread of eligible properties means many public bodies can use one procurement. The £20,001 to £500,000 band suits the minor works that keep schools, libraries and community buildings in use.
Next Steps
Contractors on the framework should respond quickly to call-offs across the property types listed and track their performance. Others should read notice 012543-2026 to understand the lots and evaluation, check the framework page for when it will next be competed, and build case studies of school, community building and DFG adaptation work.
