Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by East Devon District Council, involved the "Beer Shelf Replacement" project located on Beer Beach, Beer, UK (SY230891). The procurement focused on construction work and fell under the public authority – sub-central government category. This contract, tagged as award and contract, was in the Award stage as of 16th January 2026. The process used an open competition method below the threshold level, with a contract value of GBP 38,940 gross. The active contract period runs from 2nd February 2026 to 3rd April 2026, with a potential one-month extension. The successful supplier for this contract was Peninsula Access Ltd, indicating robust competition as there were fourteen final stage bids, of which five were from small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

The Beer Shelf Replacement project presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those specialising in outdoor structures and beach works. With East Devon District Council as the contracting authority, companies familiar with open competition tenders and below-threshold projects may find this sector favourable for their growth. The project required the complete replacement of the decking and handrails, accommodating the presence of multiple beach huts, which suggests that firms with skills in both precision construction and logistics stand to gain. Furthermore, SMEs have proven their competitiveness in this area, implying that well-positioned small to medium-sized enterprises could thrive in such tenders by demonstrating cost-effectiveness, quality workmanship, and innovative solutions.

Notice Title

Beer Shelf Replacement

Notice Description

Beer Shelf is located on Beer Beach in Beer (SY230891) with vehicle access off The fisherman's area at the base of Sea Hill. The shelf is a steel frame, with timber deck and handrails. The deck is to allow up to 12 beach huts to sit with an elevated view of the sea. The current decking is at the end of its life, with the timber subframe beyond its life, with signs of rot, causing the decking boards above to lose their purchase. Therefore both the subframe, which sits upon the steel frame, and the decking need to be replaced. Note the steel frame is in good condition, however following removal of the deck, we may use the opportunity to apply a paint system should it be needed. The current handrails are also towards the end of their life so need to be replaced. There are up to 12 beach huts sited on the shelf, and they are owned by individuals. It is assumed they will need to be moved locally to enable the deck replacement. However flat packing them is discouraged due their age, and requirement to re roof.
