Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority, has awarded a contract for the "Woodcot Lodge Kitchen Refurbishment." The project focuses on transforming and updating kitchen facilities at Woodcot Lodge in the UKJ3 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process follows a selective method, laid out under the legal framework of UK 2023/54, and it is now in the completion stage. The contract, worth £348,541, was signed on 24th June 2026, with the works scheduled to commence on 20th July 2026 and conclude by 5th October 2026. The scope includes internal reconfigurations, updated kitchen amenities, new flooring, hygiene cladding, and ventilation upgrades, with additional work on the staff room kitchenettes and external courtyard.

For businesses in the building construction sector, particularly those specialising in refurbishment and modernisation, this contract represents a significant growth opportunity. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in kitchen installations, electrical reconfigurations, and fire safety upgrades are ideally positioned to benefit from similar sub-central government contracts. The successful involvement of DM Habens (The Builder) Limited, an SME based in Waterlooville, highlights the potential for agile and specialised companies to thrive in this arena by leveraging their niche capabilities in targeted projects. With the use of a selective procurement method, businesses that have proven expertise stand a competitive chance in future tenders within this framework.

Notice Title

Woodcot Lodge Kitchen Refurbishment

Notice Description

The proposed scheme comprises internal reconfiguration and refurbishment works to expand and modernise the existing kitchen facilities. The works will include the demolition of selected internal walls to create a larger and more efficient kitchen space, removal of an existing staff kitchenette, associated doors, wall finishes, vinyl flooring and minor wall projections. New fire-rated stud walls will be constructed to separate the kitchen from the Manager's Office, together with additional fire-rated internal partitions and fire doors to form a kitchen office and a dedicated fridge/freezer room. Existing access arrangements will be reconfigured to provide a wider door opening, allowing direct trolley access from the main corridors into the kitchen. Refurbishment works will include the installation of new anti-slip flooring with coved skirtings, floor-to-ceiling hygiene wall cladding-incorporating brushed (2B finish) 304-grade stainless steel wall panels-redecoration, new all-electric kitchen equipment and shelving, to meet current standards across the Hampshire County Council estate. Mechanical and electrical works will include rewiring of the kitchen, installation of additional power outlets to provide future capacity, replacement of existing gas appliances with all-electric equipment, and upgrading of lighting throughout. The existing ventilation canopy will be modified and extended to accommodate increased steam extraction requirements. As part of the wider project, staff room kitchenettes on the ground, first and second floors will be refurbished with new base and wall units, worktops, splashbacks and sinks. External works will also be undertaken within the courtyard to install new fencing and a pergola to provide privacy, together with additional fire safety works and other associated minor works.
