Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured construction works for a structural earth retaining wall and associated works. The requirement is categorised as construction work and is to be delivered in Southampton, at the SO14 7LY location. This is a works opportunity rather than a supply or consultancy contract. The council is the buying organisation and the stated requirement covers the retaining-wall structure together with related activities needed to complete the associated works. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not designated for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The scope indicates a direct fit for contractors specialising in retaining structures, earthworks, groundworks and related civil engineering construction.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. Southampton City Council awarded the contract to Schofield Groundworks Limited on 25 August 2026. The awarded value is £26,668.87 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 August 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £26,668.87. The published procurement information records the main category as works and the procedure as a framework call-off. The award is active, and the contract covers the structural earth retaining wall and associated works in Southampton.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Southampton City Council’s demand for small-scale structural retaining-wall and associated groundworks delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in earth retaining structures, excavation, ground preparation and connected construction works, with the capacity to deliver a defined site-based package safely and reliably. Experience of working for public-sector clients and of operating under framework terms would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to price and manage a focused civil engineering assignment at this scale. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that appropriately capable smaller contractors can compete for this buyer’s works.
