UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council commissioned building works to provide new or improved toilet facilities at Dulverton School. The procurement covers construction activity rather than the supply of standalone goods or routine cleaning services, with the requirement classified as other building completion work (CPV 45450000). The work is for the school in Dulverton, Somerset, while the council is the buying organisation. The requirement was arranged as a single package and forms part of the council’s local education-estate works. It would suit a building contractor able to undertake toilet construction and associated completion works in a school setting, coordinating the physical works needed to deliver usable school facilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and selected HARRIS BROS. AND COLLARD LIMITED as the supplier for the single package. The award was made on 24 July 2026. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 4 September 2026. Its value is £36,175 excluding VAT, or £43,410 including VAT. The contract is active. The available record identifies the requirement and award route but does not set out an evaluation weighting or scored award basis; this was a non-competitive direct award rather than an open tender.

For a competing supplier, this award is evidence that Somerset Council buys relatively contained school building projects through a below-threshold route, including toilet construction and building completion work. HARRIS BROS. AND COLLARD LIMITED, an SME based in Bridgwater, was selected, indicating that a smaller local or regional contractor can be credible for this type of requirement. A future competitor would need practical construction capability covering school toilet works, the resources to deliver a defined package within a short programme, and experience working safely and effectively in an education environment. Relevant evidence would include completed building-completion projects, suitable site management, coordination of trades and the ability to provide finished facilities for public-sector users.
