Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council has awarded the contract for the design and build of a new bowls club facility, including a clubhouse and all-weather bowling green, as part of the Cullompton Town Centre Relief Road project. The contract, valued at £1,929,675.81, was awarded to Skinner Construction Limited. Initiated through an open procurement process below the threshold, this project is located in Exeter, UK, within the "Construction work" industry category. The contract award date was 8th May 2026, with the contract period extending from 20th May 2026 to 14th June 2027. The procurement stage has moved from tendering to completion.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those specialising in construction of buildings related to leisure and sports facilities. The open competition underlines the Council’s commitment to transparent procurement, encouraging diverse participation. Companies with expertise in construction work and landscaping services will find this award particularly fitting, as the project involves complex tasks such as drainage, floodlighting, and the creation of pedestrian access, requiring capabilities in both infrastructure development and site preparation. Firms equipped to handle contracts within the public sector sub-central government classifications will be well-suited to compete for future projects of this scope.
