## Summary

Herefordshire Council procured infrastructure improvement works at two school sites in Herefordshire. The scope also allowed for additional remedial works. The requirement is construction work for school infrastructure, delivered at the two sites; the procurement identifies no more specific locations. The buyer is Herefordshire Council, based in Hereford. This is a works contract rather than a supply or service requirement. The council used its Highways and Public Realm Scheme framework to run a further competition for the school works. The total estimate for the procurement included the optional remedial works, while the award was for the selected contractor’s delivery of the requirement. SMEs were considered suitable to undertake the work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Velta Construction Limited following a further competition under the council’s Highways and Public Realm Scheme framework. The award date was 27 July 2026 and the awarded value was £219,490.01. The award period runs from 28 July to 12 October 2026. The tender description states that the contract commenced on 27 July 2026 and was formally executed on 25 August 2026; its stated overall estimated value, including optional remedial works, was £400,000. The tender deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12:30. The work covered two school sites and included an option for additional remedial works. Evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available procurement information.

This award shows Herefordshire Council’s demand for infrastructure improvement works across its school estate, including the potential for additional remedial work. The selected supplier was Velta Construction Limited, identified as an SME, and the council used a further competition through its Highways and Public Realm Scheme framework. To compete credibly when comparable school-site works return to market, a contractor would need the construction capability and capacity to deliver improvements across multiple sites, manage remedial work where required, and work effectively within a framework competition. The award indicates a project of moderate scale, with optional works forming part of the wider requirement. SMEs were considered suitable, so the opportunity was not restricted to larger firms. Suppliers whose construction experience is relevant to school infrastructure and who can meet the framework’s competition requirements are best aligned with this buyer’s demonstrated need.
