Worcestershire County Council: its biggest suppliers, and what it is buying next.
Worcestershire County Council is a county council in the West Midlands. We hold 356 of its award notices, 24 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 2 committee papers 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 Worcestershire County Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 203 of those 356 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Worcestershire County 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Jacobs UK | £75.0m | 5 |
| OCS UK Ltd (Integrated Solutions) | £28.2m | 1 |
| Colas Limited | £22.0m | 2 |
| CM Community Care Services Ltd | £14.3m | 2 |
| Care Force Ltd | £14.3m | 2 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Worcestershire County 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.
| Award | Supplier | Value | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| PL0325 Warm Homes Local Grant - Retrofit Installer | Evolve Home Energy Solutions Ltd | £2.5m | DPS call-off |
| PL0362 Greenhill Lodge - Fire Compliance and Refurbishment Works - Design & Build Contract | Speller Metcalfe Malvern Limited | £1.5m | Framework call-off |

How the money is awarded
71% of Worcestershire County Council's awarded value went through open competition and 1% was awarded directly. A further 21% sits on notices that do not state a route at all. 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 71% (£225m)
- Other/Unspecified 21% (£66.1m)
- Framework/DPS 7% (£21.6m)
- Direct 1% (£3.5m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Worcestershire County 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Dec 2026 | 2 | A38 Bromsgrove Road Enhancement Scheme - AWARD | Colas Ltd | £22.0m |
| 21 Jan 2028 | 16 | CC00128 Provision of Actuarial Services for Worcestershire Pension Fund - AWARD | Hymans Robertson LLP | £2.0m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Worcestershire County 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.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|
| 23 Jul 2026 | 5 Family Hubs Recommissioning July 26The recommissioned Best Start Family Hub contracts will be funded from the Public Health Ring-Fenced Grant and national Best Start Family Hubs grant, with a maximum annual contract value of £2,400,000 from April 2027. | Cabinet |

Where Worcestershire County 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 Worcestershire. 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 Worcestershire County Council's own published papers, at https://worcestershire.moderngov.co.uk. 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 Worcestershire'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.
