Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council commissioned external improvement works at Bransbury Close in Southampton. The package covers resurfacing the entrance footpaths, renewing the associated steps and handrails, and creating new hardstanding areas for bins. This is a small, defined paving and groundwork project rather than a broad property refurbishment: the work centres on access routes, step infrastructure and bin areas at one residential location. The procurement is classified as works, and the stated delivery location is identified by the Bransbury Close project address. The scope indicates a requirement for practical external surfacing and related construction work, including coordination of the footpaths, steps, handrails and bin hardstanding as one package.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Southampton City Council selected Schofield Groundworks Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 24 September 2026, for £39,513.59. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The competition deadline was 24 September 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was presented as a single package, with no lot breakdown recorded. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis used to compare framework suppliers cannot be summarised beyond the recorded procurement route and award outcome.

This award demonstrates Southampton City Council’s demand for modest, site-specific external improvement packages combining footpath resurfacing, step and handrail renewal, and hardstanding for bins. Schofield Groundworks Limited, an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller contractor was able to deliver this defined scope through a framework call-off. Competitors for a similar requirement would need credible groundwork and paving capability, with the practical ability to coordinate surfacing and associated access features at a residential site. Experience delivering a bundled package of this kind would be relevant, particularly where safe pedestrian routes, renewed steps and handrails, and durable bin areas must be addressed together. The award provides a concrete indication of the work type and scale this buyer procures through its framework route.
