Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council: its biggest suppliers, and what it is buying next.
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council is a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands. We hold 590 of its award notices, 41 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 1 committee paper from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 307 of those 590 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

| Stark Building Materials UK Limited t/a Jewson Partnership Solut | £35.9m | 1 |

Largest awards of the last 12 months

- Competed 23% (£42.6m)
- Other/Unspecified 2% (£3.8m)
- Direct 1% (£1.0m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Oct 2027 | 13 | DUD - Survey, Supply and Installation of PVCu Windows, Composite Doors and Associated B… | EQUANS Regeneration Ltd | £18.6m |
| 30 Jun 2027 | 9 | Gas Service and Repairs to the Councils Social Housing Stock | British Gas Social Housing Limited | £16.2m |
| 25 Jan 2028 | 16 | Building Safety Assessments | Harmony Fire Ltd | £10.0m |
| 5 Feb 2027 | 4 | Fire Risk Assessment Remedial Works | Abca Systems | £4.0m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.

Where Dudley Metropolitan Borough 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 Dudley. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 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 Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council's own published papers, at https://dudley.cmis.uk.com. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Dudley's.
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.
