Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Wordland Cross Development" project was initiated by Mid Devon District Council, featuring the demolition of four end-of-life properties and the erection of six new traditionally built houses. Located in Tiverton, United Kingdom, this project was part of an open below-threshold competition. The tender stage commenced on 13th March 2026, and concluded on 15th April 2026. The awarded contract was announced on 15th July 2026, with a contract period from 29th July 2026 to 28th January 2028. The contract was awarded to BLUBOX DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED for a project valued at approximately £1.34 million, targeting the construction industry, specifically construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction works to expand their portfolio, particularly those capable of managing multi-dwelling building projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the open competition nature of the procurement and specific emphasis on quality and price criteria (weighted at 60% and 40%, respectively). The project’s focus on traditional building techniques could attract businesses with expertise in conventional construction methods, thus fostering business growth in a thriving niche sector.
