Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured paving replacement works at Hurst Community College. The requirement falls within landscaping and external works, including the removal and replacement of paving as part of the college’s site improvements. It was undertaken under the council’s Landscape and External Works Framework 2023–2027 and concerns a specific site rather than a broad regional delivery programme. The procurement is categorised as works, with landscaping work as the relevant classification. The named buying organisation is Hampshire County Council, whose Property Services function managed the requirement. The delivery site is Hurst Community College in the Winchester area, Hampshire. The wider framework reference indicates that the council uses established contractors for landscaping and external works across its estate.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hampshire County Council used a direct award under the Landscape and External Works Framework 2023–2027. Tender returns were due through In-Tend by 2pm on 13 August 2026. The contract was awarded on 18 August 2026 to Northport Construction Services Limited for £15,948 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. The procurement record identifies the requirement as Lot 1 for Hurst Community College and records the award as active. The published process does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or named quality and price criteria. The award therefore records the selected framework supplier, value and delivery period rather than an open competition outcome.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need practical paving replacement and external landscaping capability, with the workforce, equipment and site-management capacity to complete works at an operational education site within a short programme. Relevant experience in hard landscaping, paving installation, site preparation, removal of existing surfaces and safe management of public or school environments would support a competitive position. The buyer’s use of a dedicated Landscape and External Works Framework shows that framework membership and compliance with its supplier requirements are important routes to this council’s work. Businesses should therefore maintain evidence of comparable completed projects, competent construction teams, health and safety controls, quality procedures and the ability to respond through a direct-award framework process. The recorded suitability assessment does not identify this opportunity as aimed at SMEs or VCSEs.
