Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council procured building works for the Wordland Cross Development. The project involves demolishing four end-of-life properties and constructing six new traditionally built houses. This is a housing development project, covering demolition, site redevelopment and new-build residential construction. The council is the buyer and public authority responsible for the requirement. The work is associated with the council’s area in Devon, although the published delivery information does not identify a specific town or street. The procurement is categorised as construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses (CPV 45211000). It is suited to contractors able to manage demolition and new residential construction as a single works package, rather than suppliers providing only professional services, materials or individual trades.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Four bids were received and three reached the final stage. Quality carried 60% of the evaluation and price 40%. The contract was awarded to BLUBOX DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED on 15 July 2026 for £1,341,893.23 excluding VAT, or £1,610,271.88 including VAT. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The awarded contract period runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 January 2028. The original tender estimated the requirement at £1,050,000 excluding VAT, or £1,260,000 including VAT, with a six-month anticipated duration. The procurement comprised one lot, and electronic tender submission was allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from Mid Devon District Council for combined demolition and traditionally built housing delivery, at a substantial small-project construction scale. A credible competitor for similar work would need to coordinate the safe removal of end-of-life residential properties with the construction and handover of multiple new homes. Strong quality evidence is particularly important because quality was weighted more heavily than price in the evaluation. The successful supplier was an SME, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller construction businesses may be well placed where they can demonstrate the required delivery capacity. Relevant experience should cover residential redevelopment, programme management, site safety and quality assurance.
