Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured building works at Warblington School under Lot 1 of its Decoration Framework. The requirement covers partition acoustics and a fire door, combining internal construction and fire-safety work. The procurement is classified as building construction work and is categorised as works. Delivery is associated with Warblington School in Hampshire, with the council’s Winchester address used for the buying organisation. The selected supplier, Richardson Decorating Contractors Ltd, is based in Gosport. The requirement is therefore relevant to contractors able to carry out school building alterations involving acoustic partitioning and fire-door installation, rather than to general decorators or suppliers of standalone materials.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hampshire County Council made a direct award under the Decoration Framework Lot 1 to Richardson Decorating Contractors Ltd on 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £24,529.76 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 1 September 2026. The original tender return deadline was 2pm on 6 August 2026. The opportunity was handled as a direct award to a framework supplier, with responses submitted through In-Tend. The award is active, and the contract covers the partition acoustics and fire-door works at Warblington School.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to deliver partitioning that addresses acoustic performance alongside compliant fire-door work in a live or operational school environment. Relevant capability would include surveying existing conditions, coordinating access and sequencing, installing or adapting partitions, fitting fire-resisting doorsets, and providing the records needed to demonstrate compliant completion. Experience of working for a local authority or education client would help, particularly where the works must be delivered within a short, defined programme. Suppliers should also understand framework direct-award routes and be able to price a small, tightly scoped package accurately, with sufficient local resource to manage installation, testing and handover.
