UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned building works at Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh: the supply and installation of Ecophon acoustic panels in one classroom. The treatment is intended for a classroom used by deaf and hard-of-hearing children, reducing background noise and echoes that can hinder speech understanding. The requirement refers to Building Bulletin 93 guidance and a recommended reverberation time of 0.4 seconds or less. The work is categorised as building construction. Delivery is at Norwood School in Eastleigh, Hampshire. This is a focused specialist installation rather than a wider school refurbishment, so it is most relevant to contractors and acoustic specialists able to provide and install classroom acoustic treatment in an educational setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to i4 Projects Ltd. It used a selective procedure, with the award made below threshold under a framework and without a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 28 May 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 14 August 2026. Its value is £13,212 excluding VAT, or £15,854 including VAT. The requirement was handled as one lot. Hampshire County Council selected i4 Projects Ltd as the supplier; the award is recorded as active and the contract as active. The evaluation route was therefore a non-competitive framework award rather than an open tender, with the completed outcome reflecting a small, short-duration package of specialist installation works.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for targeted acoustic improvements in schools, particularly classrooms supporting deaf and hard-of-hearing pupils. A credible future competitor would need the ability to advise on classroom acoustics, supply Ecophon or equivalent acoustic panel systems, and complete a tidy installation in an occupied or operational education environment. Understanding Building Bulletin 93 and reverberation-time requirements would help a supplier produce technically suitable proposals and demonstrate that the treatment improves speech intelligibility. Relevant experience in schools, accessibility-focused environments or specialist building fit-out would strengthen credibility, alongside the capacity to deliver a small, tightly programmed works package through a public-sector framework route. The requirement suits an SME with practical installation capability and reliable project management.
