Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council commissioned fire compartmentation and remedial works at Carterton Community College, including replacing fire doors to bring the school into line with fire safety legislation. This is building fire-safety work, covering both installation and remedial activity. The delivery location is Carterton, Oxfordshire. The requirement sits within a single lot and was procured for the council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hughes and Associates Property Services Ltd. The council used limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026, with an award recorded as active. Its stated period runs from 23 October 2026 to 31 August 2027, with a maximum extent to 22 October 2030; the contract terms allow the commencement and completion dates to vary and include a 12-month rectification period before final payment. The contract value is £848,123.60 excluding VAT, or £1,017,748.32 including VAT. The available details do not set out the evaluation criteria.

For suppliers positioning for comparable fire-safety work at Oxfordshire schools, this award shows demand for contractors able to deliver coordinated fire compartmentation, remedial building work and fire-door replacement in an operational educational setting. Credible competitors would need practical fire-protection installation capability and the capacity to manage a substantial, multi-element works package through to completion, including post-completion rectification obligations. The council used limited competition below threshold, so suppliers should be prepared for a competitive process with a restricted field rather than assume an open tender route. The selected company is an SME, showing that a business of this scale was able to deliver the contract; the award does not establish that SME status was a formal condition or that any particular accreditation was required.
