Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured building refurbishment works at Norman Gate School. The requirement was to remodel existing toilet and washroom accommodation, creating additional WC facilities and installing new wash troughs. This is a construction and school premises refurbishment project, classified under building construction work. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester, and the works relate to Norman Gate School. The procurement concerned one requirement rather than a series of separately described work packages. It would suit contractors able to manage internal refurbishment in an education setting, including alteration of existing WC accommodation, installation of additional sanitary facilities and fitting of wash troughs. The scope is focused on practical building and refurbishment delivery rather than consultancy, supplies alone or general facilities management.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a competitive selective process. It was below threshold and awarded under a framework agreement. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026, starts on 23 July 2026 and ends on 31 August 2026. VDL Southern Ltd, a Waterlooville-based supplier, was awarded the contract. The awarded value is £139,519 excluding VAT, or £167,422 including VAT. The award covers the single completed requirement for Norman Gate School toilet refurbishment. Hampshire County Council is the buyer. The published outcome records an active contract and an active award, with no separate award date stated. The procurement used the framework route rather than an open standalone tender, so future suppliers should monitor the relevant framework arrangements and their competition rules.

This award confirms Hampshire County Council has a requirement for short-duration school refurbishment works involving the remodelling of existing toilet accommodation, additional WCs and new wash troughs. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical construction capability, experience working within or around education premises, and the capacity to deliver coordinated internal refurbishment to a tight programme. Relevant expertise is likely to include surveying existing washroom areas, managing building alterations, installing sanitary and washroom fittings, coordinating trades and handing over completed facilities safely. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale and type of public-sector works can be delivered by a smaller specialist contractor. Businesses with similar school refurbishment experience and access to reliable installation teams would be well placed for comparable requirements from this buyer.
