Summary of the contracting process

New Forest District Council procured fire safety remediation and refurbishment works for the council-owned housing blocks Whitecroft and Clarks Close in Ringwood, Hampshire. The requirement covers a full review-led programme to improve fire safety measures in line with recent assessments and future strategies, together with improvements to the appearance of shared communal areas. The main work category is building completion and refurbishment, including repair and maintenance of building installations. Delivery is associated with the council’s housing assets in Ringwood and the wider Hampshire area. This is a public-sector works opportunity for contractors able to manage refurbishment and fire-safety improvement works in occupied or communal residential buildings, coordinating construction activity with the requirements of a local authority housing client.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. New Forest District Council used a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 25 March 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 18 March 2026. The single lot was evaluated on cost at 60% and quality at 40%. Hampshire Partitioning Contracts Limited was awarded the work on 18 July 2026. The signed contract runs from 18 July 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £897,000 excluding VAT, or £1,076,400 including VAT. The lot’s estimated value was £1,000,000 excluding VAT, or £1,200,000 including VAT. The contract is active, and the procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from New Forest District Council for contractors combining fire-safety remediation with residential refurbishment and building-installation maintenance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in assessing and improving fire-safety arrangements in council-owned housing blocks, carrying out associated building completion and refurbishment works, and improving communal areas without losing control of quality. The evaluation places greater weight on cost than quality, but quality remains a substantial part of the decision, so suppliers would need a clear method for delivering compliant, durable works and managing risks. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a specialist or suitably experienced smaller contractor could compete, provided it can demonstrate the operational capacity, coordination and quality controls needed for a local-authority housing programme.
