Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured external decoration and repair works at Court Moor School in Hampshire. The requirement covers external painting and associated minor pre-decoration repairs to the school estate, delivered as works under the council’s Decoration & Minor Pre-decoration Repairs Framework. The procurement is classified as decoration work (CPV 45451000). The named site is Court Moor School, with the recorded delivery postcode SO23 8UL. The requirement is for a contractor able to inspect, prepare and repair external surfaces and complete the associated decoration works to the required standard. It is a site-based education-sector works contract rather than a supply-only opportunity or general professional service.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as an invitation under the Decoration & Minor Pre-decoration Repairs Framework 2024–2028, with tender returns due by 2pm on 2 July 2026. Hampshire County Council awarded one contract to JC RAE DECORATING LTD on 14 August 2026. The awarded value is £302,582.77. The contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 4 September 2026. The procurement was categorised as works and the tender record describes the method as “Other”. The award is active. This outcome indicates a single supplier was selected for the Court Moor School external decorations and repairs requirement, rather than separate awards being made to multiple suppliers or lots.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need proven capability in external decorating, surface preparation and minor building repairs, with enough operational capacity to deliver substantial school-site works within a defined programme. Experience of coordinating work safely in an education environment would be commercially relevant, including planning around occupied premises, protecting buildings and grounds, and maintaining a reliable completion schedule. The winning supplier was a specialist decorating company, so demonstrable delivery experience in comparable external decoration packages would help establish credibility. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that the buyer expected a level of capacity beyond a small-scale decorating job. The council’s framework route is also relevant to suppliers seeking similar Hampshire County Council work.
