Summary of the contracting process

Dacorum Borough Council commissioned building works to the sports changing rooms at Chaulden Lane in Hemel Hempstead. The work comprised replacing the external cladding and a steel fire door. This is a focused refurbishment requirement for facilities serving a sports site, rather than a broad construction programme. The awarded work covered one lot and relates specifically to the building’s external envelope and fire-door provision. The delivery location is Hemel Hempstead. The requirement brings together cladding work and the supply and installation of a fire door, so it is relevant to contractors able to undertake these elements of building refurbishment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to POTTON BRICKWORK LTD. Dacorum Borough Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and ran from 16 July to 30 September 2026. Its value was £26,000 excluding VAT (£31,200 including VAT). The award covered one lot and is recorded as active. The available information identifies the work and selected supplier but does not set out an evaluation basis or participation requirements; the route used was a non-competitive direct award. The contract period represents a short, defined programme of building work at the sports changing rooms.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirements, the award demonstrates demand for small-scale building refurbishment at Dacorum Borough Council’s sports facilities, combining external cladding replacement with fire-door work. A credible competitor would need to deliver both elements, or coordinate them effectively, while working on an occupied or operational public sports site as required. Relevant practical experience includes cladding installation and replacement, fitting steel fire doors, and managing a short, focused works package. The selected supplier is a small business, showing that work of this scale can be delivered by an SME. The route used was a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not provide evidence of competitive scoring criteria or a tender specification to benchmark against.
