Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council commissioned renewal of the septic tank treatment plant at Courtenay Cottages, Washfield. The work covers removing and disposing of the old treatment plant, then supplying and installing a new treatment plant in a new location. This is a sewage treatment services and works requirement, delivered in Washfield for the council based in Tiverton. The procurement is relevant to businesses that design, supply, install, replace or remove septic tanks and sewage treatment systems, and to contractors able to manage associated disposal and site works. It concerns a single treatment plant renewal rather than a broader sewage network or recurring service contract.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Mid Devon District Council ran a below-threshold open competition. WCI GROUP LIMITED was selected, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The signed contract is worth £70,392 gross (£58,660 excluding VAT), with delivery from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was £65,000 gross (£54,166.67 excluding VAT). The tender submission deadline was 7 May 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 24 April 2026 at 17:00. There was one lot. Evaluation placed equal weighting on quality and price, each worth 50%. Electronic submission was allowed, and participation was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Mid Devon District Council for septic tank treatment plant renewal at a residential or accommodation site in Washfield. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in assessing and removing obsolete treatment equipment, arranging compliant disposal, supplying an appropriate replacement plant and installing it safely in a new location. Relevant experience should cover sewage treatment works as well as associated sewage services, with the ability to manage the complete site-based delivery rather than only supply equipment. The equal quality and price assessment indicates that suppliers will need to evidence a sound technical approach and reliable delivery while remaining commercially competitive. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
