Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council has concluded the procurement process for a project titled "Fencing Works," involving the installation of 230 metres of security mesh fencing, complete with lockable gates. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 30,489.97, was part of the 'works' category under the CPV classification for fencing, railing, and safety equipment installation work. This selective procurement process, executed via a call-off from a framework agreement, reached the award stage on 17th June 2026, with the completion of the tender period on 16th June 2026. The project is slated to occur in Southampton, England, covering a full year from 17th June 2026 to 16th June 2027. The Council, through Chloe Fox as the primary contact, managed this procurement process.

This award presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in fencing and security installations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as highlighted by the suitability criteria. The procurement was a result of a selective process, meaning targeted businesses had the chance to leverage their specific expertise and existing framework agreements. With Long & Dibden Fencing being the successful supplier, companies with similar capacities and expertise in governmental projects or security infrastructure for public entities may find similar tenders beneficial in expanding their portfolio in the public sector. SMEs keen to develop their standing with local governments and enhance their credentials in collaboration with municipal bodies should stay attuned for such tender opportunities.
