## Summary

Hampshire County Council commissioned construction works to create two refuge areas at Chandler’s Ford Library: one inside the building and one outside. The work includes installing an emergency voice communication system and carrying out general fire compartmentation. It is a focused building safety project rather than a broad library refurbishment, combining alterations to the building fabric with specialist emergency communications. Delivery is at Chandler’s Ford Library in Hampshire. The requirement is relevant to building contractors able to undertake fire-safety construction work in an occupied public building, with access to the specialist installation capability needed for emergency voice communication. The project was procured as a single lot, covering the complete set of works at the library.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Green Building Maintenance Limited. Hampshire County Council used a selective route, making the award under a framework; the process was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 16 November to 18 December 2026. Its value is £65,838 excluding VAT, or £79,005 including VAT. The published outcome identifies one lot and one award, covering the refuge areas, emergency voice communication system and fire compartmentation. No evaluation criteria or award scoring basis are set out in the available process information, so the recorded outcome establishes the supplier and contract value but not how bids were assessed or ranked.

This award shows Hampshire County Council’s demand for small, defined building-safety projects in public buildings, combining physical fire compartmentation with emergency communications. A credible competitor for similar work would need to coordinate building alterations and specialist voice communication installation, and deliver both internal and external refuge areas within a tightly bounded site programme. Experience working in libraries or comparable occupied public buildings would help demonstrate the ability to manage access, protect users and maintain safe operations while carrying out works. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scale of requirement can be delivered by an SME. The route used was an award under a framework, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would need relevant framework access as well as the practical capability to deliver the combined fire-safety scope.
