Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has completed a procurement process for acoustic treatment works at Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh. The project, titled "Norwood Primary School - Acoustic Treatment to One Classroom", falls under the building construction industry category. The purpose of the works was to install Ecophon acoustic panels to improve the classroom's acoustic environment, beneficial for children with hearing impairments. The procurement was conducted through a selective method under a framework agreement, signifying a below-threshold contract, with the award decision being finalised on 23rd July 2026. The contract was signed on 28th May 2026, and the work will be carried out between 10th and 14th August 2026.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in building and acoustic enhancements, particularly those familiar with educational environments and sensitive auditory needs. Small and medium enterprises, such as i4 Projects Ltd, which have expertise in construction work and acoustics, are well-positioned to compete in such niche projects. Engaging in framework agreements with local councils, like Hampshire County Council, can enable businesses to secure ongoing work and strengthen their reputation in the public sector.

Notice Title

Norwood Primary School - Acoustic Treatment to One Classroom

Notice Description

These works involve supply and installation of Ecophon acoustic panels to one classroom at Norwood School, Eastleigh. In classrooms for deaf/hard of hearing children, the recommended reverberation time (RT60) is typically 0.4 seconds or less, as per Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) guidance. This helps reduce background noise and echoes that hinder speech understanding for hearing-impaired students.
