Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council commissioned external improvement works at Doyle Court in Southampton. The requirement covers resurfacing uneven slabbed entrance footpaths and relaying them in tarmac, resurfacing the car park, and installing a dropped kerb. This is a construction and groundworks project, principally surface works for footpaths (CPV 45233253). The work is delivered at Doyle Court, in the Southampton area. It would suit contractors able to plan and carry out public-realm surfacing and access improvements, including preparation of existing surfaces, tarmac installation, car-park resurfacing and kerb construction. The buyer is Southampton City Council, which selected a supplier for the works through its established purchasing arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Southampton City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 11 August 2026 to Schofield Groundworks Limited for £54,450.63 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 12:00 on 11 August 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the main procurement category was works. There is one award and one supplier. The published procurement information describes the requirement and route to market, while the award outcome confirms that Schofield Groundworks Limited is the active supplier for the full works package.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a small or medium-sized contractor with practical capability in external surfacing and groundworks for a local authority housing or estate setting. A credible future competitor would need to deliver several connected activities: remedial preparation and resurfacing of uneven slabbed footpaths, tarmac relaying, car-park resurfacing and construction of a dropped kerb. The work calls for dependable site management, coordination of different surface and access tasks, and the capacity to complete a compact public-realm package rather than a single isolated repair. Experience delivering similar works for councils, housing providers or other public-sector clients would help demonstrate suitability. The successful supplier's use of a framework call-off also shows the value of relevant framework access and the ability to respond through that route.
