Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council procured a building materials supply contract, covering the provision of materials for its requirements across England. This is a goods procurement rather than a construction or installation service. The requirement is classified as building materials (CPV 44111000). The council is based at Phoenix House, Phoenix Lane, Tiverton, Devon, and is the organisation responsible for buying the supplies. The contract is relevant to businesses that manufacture, distribute or supply general building materials for public-sector use, particularly those able to serve requirements beyond a single local site. The published scope is broadly described as the supply of building materials, so suppliers would need to examine the underlying contract requirements to establish the precise product range, specifications, ordering arrangements and delivery expectations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026, and the award was made on 1 August 2026. United Fixings Ltd was selected as the supplier for an awarded value of £200,000. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 30 June 2032. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open competition, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. There were no lots or separate awards identified, so the stated value relates to this single building materials requirement. The award is active, and the procurement status is complete.

This award provides a clear indication that Mid Devon District Council buys building materials through a direct-award route and can place a substantial, multi-year requirement with an SME supplier. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would be established building-materials merchants, distributors or manufacturers with a broad and dependable product range, reliable stock availability and the capacity to fulfil council orders over an extended period. A credible competitor would also need robust ordering, invoicing and delivery processes, dependable service across England, and the operational resilience to support repeat public-sector demand. SMEs are explicitly recognised as suitable for this type of work, so smaller suppliers with suitable distribution capability can assess the requirement alongside larger merchants. Experience supplying councils or other public bodies would strengthen credibility, although it is not stated as a formal condition here.
