Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council commissioned repair works to rebuild a collapsed boundary wall at the front of a school in East Coker. The work is supporting-wall construction and repair, with the delivery location recorded in Somerset, England. This is a focused masonry and boundary-wall project rather than a broader school construction or maintenance programme. The council is the buyer and the work concerns the school’s front boundary.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Somerset Landscapes Limited. Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 28 September to 18 December 2026. Its value is £43,946 excluding VAT, or £52,735 including VAT. The process comprised one lot, covering the wall repair. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Somerset Council, this award indicates demand for practical boundary-wall repair at a school, specifically rebuilding a collapsed wall at the front of the site. Relevant capability includes assessing and rebuilding supporting walls and carrying out site-based masonry work in a school setting. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can deliver a contained repair project to the required standard and within a defined delivery period. The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition for this purchase, so this outcome does not provide evidence of a competitive evaluation model or stated accreditation requirements. The selected supplier was a Somerset-based landscaping business, illustrating that a local SME was appointed for this works contract.
