Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council commissioned external improvement works at Tower House in Southampton. The requirement covers resurfacing uneven slabbed entrance footpaths and relaying them with tarmac. It is a construction works opportunity focused on footpath surface works, classified under CPV 45233253. The work is for the council’s property and estate, with delivery in Southampton. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller groundworks, paving and surfacing contractors with the equipment and workforce to prepare existing footpaths and install durable tarmac finishes. The named buyer is Southampton City Council, which is also responsible for using the completed works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Southampton City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Schofield Groundworks Limited for £35,264.54 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2027. The awarded scope is the external improvement works at Tower House, covering resurfacing uneven slabbed entrance footpaths and relaying them with tarmac. The award is recorded as active. The process contains one awarded supplier, and the award value is stated at the same level as the tender’s estimated value.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Southampton City Council’s demand for small-scale external improvement and footpath surfacing works. A credible future supplier would need practical groundworks and surfacing capability, including removing or preparing uneven slabbed paths, forming suitable surfaces and laying tarmac to a durable standard. The requirement is accessible to SMEs, so smaller contractors with suitable site teams, plant, materials knowledge and experience of public-sector or estate-maintenance works may be well placed. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should also understand how to participate through a framework call-off route and demonstrate reliable delivery around occupied public or residential buildings, while maintaining safe access and minimising disruption.
