Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Taunton Town Council procured surface and groundwork works throughout Taunton, classified primarily as tarmac works. The requirement covers path and car park surface repairs, together with footpath surface works, general surface works and resurfacing. The appointed contractor is expected to quote for individual requirements and carry out work on an as-needed basis as a preferred contractor. This is a public works opportunity delivered in Taunton, Somerset, for the Town Council. It is relevant to contractors providing tarmac, groundwork, paving and related highway or car park surface repair services, particularly businesses able to respond to varied local maintenance requirements.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 14 August 2026 to R W Gale Limited. The award value is £70,000, and the contract runs from 30 September 2026 to 30 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:30. It used an open procedure for works, with the requirement assessed through the tender process. Taunton Town Council is the buyer. The tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is the sole supplier identified for the requirement. The arrangement covers quotations and works issued on an as-needed basis during the contract period, rather than a single defined construction project.

This award indicates established demand from Taunton Town Council for responsive local surface maintenance and repair. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in tarmac laying, groundwork, footpath repairs, car park repairs and resurfacing, with the equipment, labour and operational capacity to handle jobs of varying size. The preferred-contractor model also favours businesses able to assess individual requirements, provide quotations promptly and deliver reliably when instructed. Local knowledge of Taunton and the surrounding area would support efficient mobilisation, while a track record of comparable public-sector or municipal works would help demonstrate reliability. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to established specialist contractors as well as larger civil engineering firms.
