Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured structural timber repair works at Queen Elizabeth Country Park, carried out in accordance with engineers’ details. The requirement falls within building construction work and concerns the repair of existing roof timber rather than a general construction programme. The council is the buying organisation, with the work delivered in Hampshire, within the Queen Elizabeth Country Park area. The procurement comprised one completed requirement. It would suit contractors specialising in structural timber repairs, roof repairs and associated building works, particularly those able to interpret and work to engineer-designed repair details. Relevant experience in public parks, visitor facilities or other occupied public buildings would help demonstrate an understanding of working safely around public access, although the recorded requirement is specifically for the repair works described above.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective process using a below-threshold award under a framework; it was not competitively reopened. The contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and awarded to ABLE (SOUTH) LTD. The award value is £13,860 excluding VAT, or £16,632 including VAT. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 18 September 2026. The tender had one completed lot, covering the roof timber repair works. The evaluation basis is not recorded in the procurement data. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. No cancellation or termination is recorded, and the contract is active. The procurement is linked to a wider framework process, showing that the requirement was placed through an existing purchasing arrangement rather than a standalone open competition.

For competitors, this award is evidence that Hampshire County Council uses a framework route for small, defined structural repair projects in its country parks and public facilities. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need practical expertise in structural timber and roof repairs, the ability to follow engineers’ repair details accurately, and sufficient capacity to complete a focused works package within a short delivery window. Experience of surveying defects, planning safe repair methods, managing site risks and protecting public access would strengthen a response. Contractors able to operate as smaller specialist building firms may be well placed, since the selected supplier is an SME. The relevant commercial position is specialist repair delivery, not major construction or routine maintenance.
