Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured building improvement works at Emsworth Primary School in Emsworth. The project covered internal and external works. Internally, the contractor constructed a partition wall in a hallway, fitted a new access-controlled door, added access control to two existing doors, extended a half-height wall and formed an archway in an existing doorway. Externally, the works included resurfacing and installing a canopy in an existing small play area. The internal and external elements were planned around the school environment, with internal work scheduled for the end-of-August holiday and external work during term time. The procurement falls within building construction work and was delivered in Hampshire.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective, competitive route for a below-threshold award under a framework, with one lot. Hampshire County Council awarded the contract to B & M Clark (Builders) Limited. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and has an active period from 31 August 2026 to 14 September 2026. Its value is £82,504 excluding VAT, or £99,004 including VAT. The award is for the complete works described for Emsworth Primary School. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and links the procurement to a framework agreement, indicating that the requirement was sourced through an established framework rather than an open standalone competition.

This requirement indicates demand for a building contractor able to deliver small, coordinated school improvement projects covering both internal alterations and external play-area works. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in partitions, doors and access-control installation, wall extensions, doorway alterations, surfacing and canopy installation. Experience of working safely and efficiently around a live school estate would be relevant, particularly where different activities need to be coordinated around holidays and term time. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized construction business, showing that this scale and mix of works can suit an appropriately capable SME. Suppliers would also need access to the relevant trades, site management and framework route used by the council.
