## Summary

Southampton City Council has concluded the award stage for a tender related to "Inspection, Testing & Repair Works to Concrete and Masonry Structures". This procurement process, initiated earlier in the year, aims to establish a contractor specialising in the maintenance and repair of structures such as residential tower blocks, other residential and council buildings, as well as schools and industrial buildings. With its open procedure procurement method, the process caters primarily to the works industry category. Awarded on 15 December 2025, the contract is valued at £7,200,000, with the contract period set from 19 January 2026 to 18 January 2029, and potential extensions allowing for a total term of up to five years. Hampshire County Council and AECOM LIMITED were involved in the procurement assessment, enhancing the evaluation process. While VolkerLaser Ltd and QST Construction Services Limited submitted valid bids during the tender stage, the contract was ultimately awarded to QST Construction Services Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in concrete and masonry repair works. It offers substantial growth potential for contractors like QST Construction Services Limited, especially those adept at handling large-scale projects associated with public structures. Suitable candidates for future participation in similar tenders include organisations that demonstrate technical proficiencies aligned with national standards, such as CHAS, Construction Line, or Concrete Repair Association certifications.
