Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured external improvement works at Montague Avenue in Southampton. The works cover resurfacing a car park, installing a dropped kerb, and repairing uneven slabbed footpaths by relaying them with tarmac. This is a civil engineering and public-realm surfacing requirement, classified under surface work for footpaths (CPV 45233253). The procurement is categorised as works and is intended for delivery at the Montague Avenue site, within the SO14 7LY area. The requirement would suit contractors able to carry out small-scale highways, footway and hard-surfacing works, including preparation, removal or repair of existing surfaces, tarmac laying, kerb work and associated site operations. The buyer is Southampton City Council, with the work focused on improving access, safety and the condition of external paved and surfaced areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was evaluated and awarded to Schofield Groundworks Limited. The award was made on 13 August 2026 for £52,344.36 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 12 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was a single requirement covering the external improvement works at Montague Avenue rather than separately described lots. The successful supplier is recorded as an active award recipient, and the tender status is complete. The route shows that future suppliers would need access to the relevant framework or an equivalent route into the council’s approved supply chain.

This award demonstrates Southampton City Council’s demand for compact public-realm and groundworks packages combining car-park resurfacing, footpath renewal and dropped-kerb installation. Competitors would need practical delivery capability across tarmac surfacing, footway repair, kerbing and associated groundwork, with enough coordination to complete several related external improvements as one site package. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor can be credible where it can demonstrate reliable site delivery, appropriate plant and labour, and effective control of quality, safety and disruption. Experience of working on council or other public sites would help a supplier evidence that it can manage pedestrian access, existing surfaces and local operational constraints. A framework-based call-off route also makes framework participation and awareness of approved-supplier arrangements commercially relevant for similar council requirements.
