Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned safeguarding and access improvements at Rowner Infant School. The works include removing approximately 37 metres of existing timber fencing and posts, forming a new concrete-tile path, and installing approximately 50 metres of security fencing. The requirement also covers three new gates with powered access control, new power cabling to supply those gates, and access-control equipment for a number of internal doors. This is a construction and building-works requirement, covering both external site works and internal electrical and security installations. Delivery is associated with Rowner Infant School and the Hampshire County Council area, so relevant suppliers should be able to work on a school site and coordinate several connected trades.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to TEW BROTHERS LIMITED. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. Its value is £32,588 excluding VAT, or £39,106 including VAT. The awarded work is classified as building construction. The tender and lot are recorded as complete, while the award and contract are active. The published outcome therefore records a single supplier and a single contract for the full school access and safeguarding requirement. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and did not use a competitive tender process.

This procurement indicates demand from Hampshire County Council for compact school-site works combining security fencing, pedestrian access, powered gates, electrical cabling and internal door-access controls. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would need to manage external fencing and paving alongside powered-access and low-voltage electrical installation, with effective coordination between civil, security and electrical work. Experience working safely in an occupied or operational education setting would strengthen credibility, particularly where safeguarding, controlled access and disruption to pupils and staff are important. The successful supplier was an SME, suggesting that a capable specialist or small main contractor with suitable subcontractor relationships could compete for comparable school improvement work.
