Can anyone clarify whether it is possible to create a local Key Server using the
GNUPG tools?

Not with GnuPG itself. The GnuPG project does not provide a keyserver software.

Most keyservers out there are powered by a software called SKS (Synchronizing Key Server) [1,2].

For a local network, a LDAP-based keyserver may also be considered. The GnuPG wiki has a page on how to setup such a server [3].

Finally, with GnuPG modern (>= 2.1) you may choose to setup a Web Key Directory. This is a recently introduced approach to key distribution, for which GnuPG provides some tools and documentation [4,5].

Hope that helps,

Damien
