UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured building works at Curdridge Primary School in Hampshire: the supply and installation of Ecophon acoustic panels in Rooms 12 and 21. The purpose is to improve classroom acoustics for deaf and hard-of-hearing children by reducing background noise and echo, supporting speech understanding and the reverberation-time guidance in Building Bulletin 93. This is a focused, two-classroom acoustic treatment rather than a wider school refurbishment. The requirement falls within building construction work and concerns physical installation on the school site. Businesses relevant to this requirement include contractors able to supply specified acoustic panel systems and carry out their installation in an education setting, particularly where classroom acoustics and accessibility for hearing-impaired pupils are understood.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MKG Building Services Ltd. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure, making a below-threshold award under a framework; the award was not competitively reopened. The contract was signed on 29 April 2026. It has a gross value of £24,702, or £20,585 excluding VAT, and runs from 27 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. There was one completed lot covering the acoustic treatment works. The awarded supplier is based in Fareham. The recorded outcome identifies an active award and active contract, so this procurement represents a completed purchasing decision rather than an opportunity to submit a tender. The requirement was assessed through the framework award route.

This award shows Hampshire County Council buying a small, defined package of specialist school acoustic works through an existing framework route. A credible future competitor would need to combine the supply of Ecophon or equivalent acoustic panel systems with reliable installation capability, accurate work in occupied or education environments, and an understanding of how reverberation affects speech intelligibility for deaf and hard-of-hearing pupils. Experience translating Building Bulletin 93 guidance into practical classroom treatment would strengthen a supplier’s position. The scale suits a focused building-services contractor able to deliver a short installation programme and manage work across named rooms without turning the requirement into a larger construction project. Framework access and a track record of completing comparable school acoustic improvements would also be commercially relevant.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Curdridge Primary School - Acoustic Treatment to Two Classrooms

Notice Description

These works involve supply and installation of Ecophon acoustic panels to Rooms 12 and 21 at Curdridge Primary School. 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.
