## Summary

Somerset Council procured urgent building maintenance works: an overhaul of the rainwater goods on Block E at Fairmead SEN School in Yeovil. The requirement is drainage work at a school site, rather than a wider building-maintenance programme. The work is classified as construction works and is located in Yeovil, Somerset.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Westcountry Maintenance Services Ltd. Somerset Council used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The single lot covered the works. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 4 January 2027. Its value is £239,478 excluding VAT, or £287,373 including VAT. The published information does not give a separate award date or explain an evaluation basis; the award was made without competition.

This award shows demand from Somerset Council for urgent rainwater-goods and drainage overhaul at a specialist school. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need the practical capability and capacity to inspect, repair or replace rainwater systems on an occupied school building and complete urgent works within a short, defined contract period. Experience working safely in a school environment, including a special educational needs setting, would be relevant to demonstrating suitability. The chosen supplier is a small or medium-sized maintenance business, indicating that this scale of works was delivered by an SME. The route used was a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish comparative evaluation criteria or a tested competitive qualification standard.
