## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured building repair works at Lower Brownwich Farm, Brownwich Lane, Fareham, Hampshire. The requirement was to replace decayed oak knee braces between posts and beams along the farm store’s north-east elevation, and to repair decayed oak wall-frame studs. This is a specialist timber and structural repair requirement for an agricultural estate building, classified as building construction work. The buying organisation is Hampshire County Council, a sub-central public authority. The work is located in Fareham, Hampshire, and concerns the Brownwich County Farms Estate. Businesses with experience in repairing traditional timber frames, farm buildings and structurally decayed oakwork would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure below the applicable threshold, with the contract awarded under a framework and without competition between framework suppliers. The award was made to B.& M.McHugh Limited, an SME, and the contract was signed on 21 August 2026. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its value is £22,066 excluding VAT and £26,479 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the farm-store repairs. The procurement was evaluated through the framework award route rather than an open competition, and the recorded award remains active.

This procurement shows Hampshire County Council’s demand for small-scale, specialist repair of traditional agricultural buildings, using a framework route for below-threshold works. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in structural timber repairs, including replacing oak knee braces, repairing wall-frame studs and working safely around existing historic or agricultural structures. Relevant experience should include diagnosing decay, matching and installing oak members, forming sound connections between posts and beams, and completing repair work with minimal disruption to an occupied estate. The selected supplier profile also indicates that an SME-sized contractor can deliver this type of requirement. Firms building a track record in public-sector estate maintenance and framework delivery would be well placed for similar work from this buyer.
