Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured building works at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Crookham Farm, under the requirement titled “Crookham Farm Barn Roofs – Investigating Leaks”. The scope covers demolition of the existing storage barn, which has blockwork walls and an asbestos corrugated roof, down to slab level. The appointed contractor is required to construct a replacement steel-framed barn with Kingspan infill panels and complete the associated mechanical and electrical fit-out. This is a works opportunity focused on building construction, refurbishment and replacement of a defective agricultural or estate structure. Delivery is in the Hampshire area, for a county council-owned or managed garden site. Businesses with relevant construction, demolition, structural steelwork and building-services capabilities would recognise this as the type of project involved.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a competitive selective process. It was a below-threshold award under a framework, with one completed lot. Hampshire County Council awarded the contract to VDL Southern Ltd. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 2 October 2026. Its value is £198,963 excluding VAT, or £238,755 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a selective route rather than an open tender, with competition conducted under the framework. The requirement was evaluated through that framework competition. This outcome identifies the buyer’s chosen route, the scale of the works and the delivery period for comparable future requirements.

This procurement shows demand from Hampshire County Council for contractors able to manage a compact but technically mixed building project from demolition through to completion. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need experience safely demolishing structures containing asbestos-cement roofing, preparing and retaining a sound slab-level base, and coordinating structural steel, insulated Kingspan-type building systems, mechanical services and electrical services. The work suits an SME-sized construction business or a specialist principal contractor able to control several trades and deliver within a defined programme. Relevant evidence would include completed barn, estate, agricultural or public-sector refurbishment projects, competent asbestos-related planning and management, reliable subcontractor or in-house trade capacity, and the ability to work safely at an operational public garden site.
