UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council procured internal refurbishment works at Start Point Sholing for Springwell School. The purpose is to create new classroom space for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The work is refurbishment rather than a supply or professional services requirement, with delivery in Southampton. The scope is described as internal refurbishment, and the classification identifies refurbishment work. This is a local-authority building project focused on adapting an existing education facility for additional specialist classroom capacity. Businesses relevant to this requirement are building contractors able to undertake internal refurbishment in a school environment, including the coordination of building works needed to make teaching accommodation suitable for its intended users.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It had one lot and received three bids, all three reaching the final stage; all final-stage bidders were SMEs. The contract was awarded to CONCEPT BUILDING SERVICES (SOUTHERN) LTD on 16 July 2026. The award value is £453,398.73 excluding VAT and £544,078.48 including VAT. The contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 17 August 2026. The selected supplier is a Chichester-based SME. The award covers refurbishment works for the Southampton delivery location. The recorded procedure was a limited competition rather than an open tender, and the procurement was below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates demand from Southampton City Council for substantial, time-limited internal refurbishment works to adapt school accommodation for SEND teaching. A competitor seeking similar work from this buyer would need credible capability in building refurbishment, particularly within an operational or education setting where the finished space must support specialist classroom use. The requirement also shows that an SME can compete successfully through a below-threshold limited competition, with three SMEs reaching the final stage. Relevant suppliers are therefore likely to be established building contractors able to manage a complete internal refurbishment package, coordinate trades and deliver quickly against a defined programme. Experience converting or improving existing public-sector, school or community buildings would help demonstrate fit for this type of requirement.
