Birmingham City Council: contracts, suppliers and what is coming next.
Birmingham City Council is a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands. This page sets out who supplies it, which of its contracts run out next, and what its committee papers have said about procurement in the last 30 days. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 6 August 2026 (committee papers) | 12 June 2026 (award notices)

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Birmingham City Council award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.
| Supplier | Awarded value | Awards |
|---|---|---|
| Fortem Solutions Limited | £232m | 2 |
| University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust | £94.2m | 3 |
| Claremont Living | £84.8m | 7 |
| VolkerFitzpatrick Limited | £59.2m | 1 |
| Dennis Eagle Ltd | £32.2m | 2 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Birmingham City Council has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
42% of Birmingham City Council's awarded value went through open competition and 28% was awarded directly. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 42% (£356m)
- Direct 28% (£233m)
- Framework/DPS 27% (£227m)
- Other/Unspecified 3% (£24.8m)

Where Birmingham City Council spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Birmingham. The award data set was last refreshed on 12 June 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Birmingham City Council's own published papers, at https://birmingham.cmis.uk.com/birmingham. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 6 August 2026.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
