Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council commissioned replacement of external pipework at Queens House in Southampton. This is a building works requirement focused on pipework replacement, rather than a wider construction programme. The stated scope is confined to Queens House; the procurement does not describe other properties or additional services. The work is associated with the council’s housing framework retrofit works, specifically its pipework lot, and was intended to address external pipework at the property. The buyer is Southampton City Council, and delivery is in Southampton. This is a council housing-related maintenance and retrofit requirement for contractors able to undertake external pipework replacement in an occupied or existing building context.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Southampton City Council used a limited procedure, making a direct award through its housing framework retrofit works lot for pipework. One bid was recorded, and the award went to AXIS CLC Contractors Limited. The lot was marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the award is therefore reported as made, but the lot status conflicts with that outcome. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is valued at £80,100. The award date and contract period are not provided. The stated award basis is price. The procedure was conducted without a prior call for competition. The requirement was organised as one lot, with no options recorded.

For contractors assessing future Southampton City Council housing retrofit work, this award shows demand for external pipework replacement at Queens House and use of the council’s housing framework route. The selected supplier was a large contractor, and the procurement recorded one bid, indicating that a credible competitor would need to be positioned to deliver the defined building pipework works through the relevant framework. Relevant capability is practical experience replacing external pipework in existing housing, with the capacity to complete a discrete property-level works package. Price was the stated evaluation basis, so efficient delivery and competitive costing would be important alongside relevant technical competence. The requirement was narrowly scoped: suppliers focused on external pipework replacement are more closely aligned than firms offering unrelated housing services or general construction alone.
