Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned building works at Uplands Primary School in Hampshire. The requirement was to enclose two Year 1/2 classrooms by constructing two new stud partition walls. Associated works included installing additional smoke detection and moving light switches to suit the altered classroom layout. This is a small, specific school refurbishment project involving internal building alterations, fire detection and electrical changes. The main work category was building construction, classified under CPV 45210000. The buyer was Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester, and the delivery location was within Hampshire. The requirement was structured as a single lot and covered the physical adaptation of existing school accommodation rather than a new-build project or general facilities management service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework, and the process was not competitive at this stage. The single lot was awarded to B & M Clark (Builders) Limited. The award was active and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The contract period ran from 24 August 2026 to 4 September 2026. Its value was £26,306 excluding VAT, or £31,567 including VAT. The published procurement information records the award for the classroom enclosure works and associated smoke detection and electrical alterations. No separate awards or contract values were recorded for other suppliers or lots.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for small, tightly defined education-estate refurbishment works delivered within an operating school environment. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical building capability, including forming stud partitions and adapting existing internal layouts, together with the ability to coordinate associated fire-detection and electrical alterations. Experience of working safely and efficiently in schools or other occupied public buildings would be commercially relevant, as would reliable planning across several trades and the ability to complete short-duration works with limited disruption. The selected supplier was an SME construction business, indicating that this scale and type of council work can suit smaller building contractors with appropriate site management, competent subcontractor coordination and experience delivering minor public-sector works.
