P3341 - Emergency Call-Out & Birmingham City Council’s Emergency Demolition Projects

Birmingham City Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint an organisation for the provision of 24/7 emergency works contract to aid Birmingham City Council in fulfilling its responsibilities under the various ‘Unsecure’ and ‘Dangerous Structures’ legislation.

The contract will commence on 01 January 2026 and the contract duration will be 36 months.

Overview of the Opportunity

The successful Contractor will be expected to provide a single point of contact for the attending Building Surveyor/Council Officer to call upon whilst out on an emergency call-out. The Contractor is expected to bring their expertise to the contract and assist the Building Surveyor/Council Officer to determine the ‘best fit’ solution to the problem at hand. The Contractor will then organise relevant labour, materials and plant to perform the works as required by the Building Surveyor/Council Officer. The Contractor will attend site and liaise with all relevant parties to bring a satisfactory conclusion to the event.

The type of work the Contractor will encounter cannot be predetermined due to the nature of emergency circumstances but could include:

i) complete or partial demolition of domestic, commercial or Council owned property

ii) security works to a building to prevent unauthorised access

iii) assisting the emergency services to render safe a building affected by fire or an accident

iv) providing temporary support to a building to allow further works at a later date, possibly by another contractor

v) providing temporary barriers around dangerous/unstable buildings/structures to keep the general public at a safe distance

The works will be carried out on both private and council owned land/buildings/structures.

The successful Contractor will provide Acivico (Building Consultancy) Ltd, with at least two contacts who can be reached 24 hours per day throughout the year. The contact or his nominated representative will then be required to be at the site within one hour to assist the attending Building Surveyor/Council Officer and assess the level of resources necessary to undertake the works. The successful Contractor must then mobilise his resources and be prepared to commence any necessary work within one hour of the contact representative arriving on site.
