UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council procured construction works on section IOW2 of the England Coast Path, from Wootton Bridge to Culver on the Isle of Wight. The section forms part of the King Charles III England Coast Path, a nationwide National Trail project; the council identified ten island stretches, of which six had been approved for delivery. The work contributes to creating a coastal trail around the island. The procurement was categorised as construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to M.C.M. Construction Limited. The council used an open, below-threshold competition. The published evaluation weighting was 60% price and 40% quality. The tender deadline was 2 April 2026. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 19 February 2027. Its contract value is £313,030.30 excluding VAT (£375,636.36 including VAT). The earlier estimate was £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). The procurement was presented as one lot, described as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from the Isle of Wight Council for construction work on coastal-path infrastructure, including a defined stretch of the England Coast Path. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need the construction capability and capacity to deliver works along a coastal route, and to make a strong case on both quality and price: price carried the greater evaluation weighting, while quality remained a substantial part of the assessment. The council ran an open competition below the applicable threshold, and the opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs. M.C.M. Construction Limited, an SME based on the Isle of Wight, was selected, showing that a local small business secured the contract.
