UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured safeguarding fencing works at Aconbury Primary School in Herefordshire. The requirement was construction work to provide fencing for safeguarding at the school. The scope is described as works delivered under a JCT Minor Works with Contractor’s Design contract, indicating that the contractor was responsible for design as well as carrying out the works. The procurement was a single-lot requirement for the school site; the published delivery location identifies Herefordshire. This is relevant to fencing and construction contractors able to undertake school safeguarding works and manage the associated design responsibility. The named buyer was Herefordshire Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to S C Joseph Ltd, an SME. The council used a below-threshold route; no further procedure detail is recorded. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 23 September to 6 November 2026. Its stated value is £53,132 excluding VAT, or £63,758.40 including VAT. The process was divided into one lot, covering the safeguarding fencing works. No separate evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Herefordshire Council for safeguarding fencing at a primary school, procured as construction work with contractor design responsibility. Suppliers competing for comparable work for this buyer would need to deliver fencing suited to a school environment and take responsibility for the design as well as installation. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was delivered by a smaller business rather than only a large contractor. A credible competitor would need the practical capability to manage a focused, single-site works package and coordinate design and construction. The evidence here is specific to safeguarding fencing at Aconbury Primary School; it does not establish broader requirements or qualifications for other types of council work.
