Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by East Devon District Council deals with the "Beer Shelf Replacement" project located on Beer Beach, United Kingdom, within the UKK43 region. The industry category is construction works, specifically focusing on replacing the existing timber deck and handrails of a steel-framed structure that accommodates beach huts. The procurement utilised an open competition method suitable for below-threshold participants. The tender stage began with the publication of the notice on 6th November 2025, with the enquiry period ending on 8th December 2025 and tender submissions closing on 15th December 2025. The contract was awarded to Peninsula Access Ltd, an SME, on 6th January 2026, valued at £32,450 excluding VAT, with the contracting period spanning from 19th January to 3rd April 2026.

This tender presents a strong opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and decking work, particularly SMEs, as demonstrated by the successful bidder, Peninsula Access Ltd. Given the need to replace the deck and potentially paint the steel frame, enterprises with expertise in this niche construction area stand to benefit significantly. The project requires the technical capability to handle timber subframe and deck replacements while managing logistical challenges associated with relocating and maintaining beach huts. Businesses with a track record in heritage or eco-sensitive environments could gain valuable experience and presence within the public procurement market by engaging in this contract.

Notice Information

Notice Title

ED00402-25 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.
