Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned boundary planting works at St Lawrence CE (C) Primary School under Lot 1 of its Landscape and External Works Framework. The requirement is classified as landscaping work for playgrounds (CPV 45112723) and concerns planting along the school boundary. Delivery is associated with the school site at postcode SO23 8UL. This is a works contract managed by the council’s property services function. The requirement is specific to an education site and its external grounds, so relevant businesses are landscape contractors, grounds and external works specialists, and planting contractors able to work safely in or around an operational primary school environment. The procurement was made through the council’s existing external works framework rather than as a standalone open competition.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award under the Landscape and External Works Framework. Leaves Building & Maintenance Contractors Ltd was selected on 21 September 2026 for £21,465 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period is 4 to 5 October 2026. The tender record gives a submission deadline of 17 June 2026 at 2pm, while the original invitation text refers to 12 May 2026 at 2pm. The contract is not divided into separately reported awards, and the published outcome identifies one supplier. The underlying requirement was advertised as a framework call-off for boundary planting works, with the council’s procurement route determining how the supplier was selected.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award shows Hampshire County Council’s demand for small, defined landscaping and planting packages at school sites, procured through its Landscape and External Works Framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical expertise in boundary planting and playground-adjacent landscaping, with the workforce, equipment and horticultural materials to complete a compact external works package efficiently. It would also need to understand framework call-offs and direct-award routes, respond accurately to council tender instructions, and manage work around a primary school setting. Evidence of reliable delivery on education, public-sector or similarly sensitive sites would strengthen its position, alongside suitable health and safety controls, site planning, quality assurance and the capacity to complete short-duration works to specification.
