Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned principal structural inspections of structures identified in the works information. The inspections are to be carried out in accordance with CS 450. This is an engineering consultancy services requirement, rather than a purchase of physical structures or construction works. The council is based in Winchester; the procurement identifies delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Hampshire County Council selected AtkinsRéalis UK Limited through a selective call-off from Lot A of its Gen5 Consult Transport, Highways and Infrastructure Consultancy Framework for 2026–2030. The award was made on 1 September 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 1 September to 11 December 2026. Its value is £57,440 excluding VAT (£68,928 including VAT). The requirement was handled as a below-threshold framework award. The procurement was divided into one lot; no further evaluation basis is stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for specialist consultancy to carry out principal inspections of structures to CS 450. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches market would need the structural inspection expertise, engineering capability and capacity to inspect the structures identified in the works information, and to deliver work to the specified standard. The winning supplier is a large engineering consultancy, indicating the type of provider selected for this package, although the award does not establish that a particular company size is required. The call-off route was the council’s Gen5 Consult framework, so access to the relevant framework lot would be commercially important for competing through the same route.
