UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured specialist building works at Emsworth House Nursing Care Home to address water ingress in two existing lift shafts. The requirement was to apply an internal waterproofing system to mitigate groundwater penetration into the lift pits, following failure or deterioration of the original external waterproofing. The system had to reach at least 150mm above external ground level. The works could involve temporarily relocating lift equipment and low-level services, with assistance from the term maintenance contractor to disconnect, relocate and reinstate them. Each lift would be out of service for approximately two to three days, requiring careful coordination to minimise disruption to care-home operations. The work is classified as building construction.

The procurement is complete. Hampshire County Council used a selective, below-threshold award under a framework, without a competitive process. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and awarded to MKG Building Services Ltd, an SME based in Fareham. The awarded value was £25,887 excluding VAT, or £31,065 including VAT. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 21 August 2026. There was one completed lot covering the lift-pit waterproofing works. The requirement called for an approved specialist contractor working with Sika products or an equivalent waterproofing provider. The works were recommended for summer scheduling so the lift pits could dry sufficiently to meet moisture requirements for application and performance.

This procurement indicates demand from Hampshire County Council for specialist waterproofing of existing lift pits in operational care settings. Suppliers well placed for similar requirements would have demonstrable experience diagnosing and controlling groundwater ingress, applying internal waterproofing systems to concrete or masonry lift shafts, and working with recognised products such as Sika or equivalent systems. Credible contractors would also need to manage confined or restricted work areas, protect and coordinate around lift equipment and low-level services, and work with a term maintenance contractor where disconnection and reinstatement are required. Experience planning short shutdowns in nursing homes or other occupied public buildings would be valuable, as would the capacity to coordinate drying, moisture testing, application and reinstatement while limiting disruption to residents and building operations.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Emsworth House Nursing Care Home - Lift Pit and Water Ingress

Notice Description

Waterproofing works are required to two existing lift shafts. The works shall involve a specialist internal waterproofing application, to be undertaken by a approved contractor that works with products such as Sika or an equivalent provider. The observed water ingress is considered to be a result of failure or deterioration of the original external waterproofing system. Therefore, the proposed internal waterproofing solution is intended to mitigate groundwater penetration into the lift pits. The waterproofing system shall be applied to a minimum height of 150mm above external ground level. Achieving this may necessitate the temporary relocation of existing lift equipment and low-level services within the shafts. Assistance from the term maintenance contractor may be required to disconnect, relocate, and reinstate these services prior to and following the waterproofing works. It is recommended that the works are scheduled during the summer months, when the groundwater table is typically lower. This will allow the lift pits to dry sufficiently to meet the moisture content requirements necessary for the successful application and performance of the waterproofing system. Each lift will need to be taken out of service for approximately 2-3 days to facilitate the works. Appropriate planning and coordination will be required to minimise disruption to building operations to the care and nursing home.
