Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured works for the demolition of Mayflower Park, with the requirement classified under flatwork associated with a children’s play area. The work is to be delivered in Southampton. The procurement is categorised as works and was bought by Southampton City Council. The available scope identifies the Mayflower Park demolition as the central requirement, with the classification indicating related groundworks or hard-surfacing activity for a children’s play area. This points to a contractor able to undertake demolition and associated site works in an urban public-park setting. The awarded supplier, Schofield Groundworks Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the scale and delivery model were accessible to an SME groundworks contractor.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Southampton City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Schofield Groundworks Limited on 20 July 2026 for £32,814.25 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £32,814.25. Evaluation information recorded for this award identifies the framework call-off route rather than a separate weighting of price, quality or other criteria. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for delivering the Mayflower Park demolition works during the stated contract period.

This award is useful market evidence for demolition, groundworks and public-realm contractors that serve local authorities. A credible competitor for a future Southampton City Council requirement would need practical experience of safely demolishing structures or features in a public park, managing site risks, and completing associated hard-surface or groundworks linked to a children’s play area. The work is suited to an SME-scale contractor, so firms with an appropriately sized operational team, plant, competent site supervision and the ability to coordinate safely around public spaces are relevant. Access to the council’s relevant framework route would also be commercially important, as this requirement was placed through a framework call-off. Experience delivering council or other public-sector works would strengthen a supplier’s position when comparable demand returns.
