Summary of the contracting process

Shaftesbury Town Council procured a main contractor to build the new one-and-a-half-storey Mampitts Community Hub at Mampitts Green, Shaftesbury. The works cover construction of the building, utilities, external areas and landscape enhancements to improve the surrounding public realm. The completed hub is intended to be a flexible, multi-use facility for community groups, wellbeing activities, small events, family programmes and general local services. This is a construction works opportunity, classified under CPV 45000000. Delivery is in Shaftesbury, Dorset. The requirement is relevant to building contractors able to manage a complete community facility project, including associated civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, external works and landscaping packages.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition with one lot. A Hammond & Sons Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 24 August 2026. The contract period is 14 September 2026 to 14 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £1,437,951 excluding VAT, or £1,725,541.20 including VAT. The original estimated value was £1,400,000 excluding VAT, or £1,680,000 including VAT. The contract includes an option for additional aligned works within the tendered scope. Bids were assessed equally on quality and price: quality covered construction, delivery and quality, the delivery team, project management and programme; price was assessed against the schedule of works. The tender deadline was 20 April 2026 at noon, with enquiries closing on 7 April 2026.

The award indicates a requirement for a small-to-medium-scale principal building contractor able to deliver a community building from coordinated design information through construction and external completion. Relevant capability includes managing utilities, structural and civil engineering, mechanical and electrical installations, drainage, external works, landscape enhancements and associated site constraints. Experience of community buildings and proactive engagement with local communities was identified as useful, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate work in occupied or publicly visible community settings and clear stakeholder communication. Credible competitors would also need robust project management, programme control, quality assurance and delivery-team arrangements, because these formed part of the quality assessment. The single-package approach favours contractors able to coordinate the full scope, while specialist subcontractor management remains important.
