UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured works to refurbish the multi-use games area (MUGA) at Herne View School. The scope covers installing new fencing and surfacing on the school site, within the sports-facilities maintenance and repair category. The requirement is therefore suited to contractors delivering outdoor sports-surface refurbishment, associated fencing and related site works in an educational setting. The buying organisation is Somerset Council, based in Taunton. The awarded work is for the school site rather than a council-wide programme, so businesses should assess their ability to deliver a focused refurbishment project with the necessary coordination, site management and construction capability for a school environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Somerset Council awarded the single lot to SOMERSET LANDSCAPES LIMITED. The award was made on 28 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active, with a contract period from 14 September 2026 to 6 November 2026. Its value is £122,141 excluding VAT and £146,570 including VAT. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement was treated as works and classified under repair and maintenance work connected with sports facilities. No separate competitive tender stage or multiple-lot award is recorded.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates that Somerset Council purchases compact, defined sports-facility refurbishment projects for school sites, covering both specialist outdoor surfacing and perimeter fencing. A credible future supplier would need to manage these elements as one coordinated works package, understand the practical constraints of working on an operational or educational site, and deliver safely within a short programme. Relevant experience in multi-use games areas, sports-court construction or refurbishment, fencing installation and associated ground or preparation works would support a competitive proposition. The award to an SME also indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist contractor without the scale of a major national construction business.
