Summary of the contracting process

East Devon District Council is inviting tenders for the "ED0425-26 Ottery St Mary Weir Repairs and Desilt" project, part of the construction industry category. This active tender aims to address the deterioration of the Weir structure affecting water levels in the River Otter. The project involves the removal and replacement of the existing Weir, along with maintenance dredging of the Mill Leat. Located in Honiton, Devon, and opening on 1 July 2026, the tender is in the procurement stage of an open competition method, below threshold. Interested parties should note the submission deadline of 20 July 2026, with a preceding enquiry period ending on 10 July 2026.

This tender offers a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and environmental works, particularly those capable of securing relevant environmental permits. Small and medium enterprises are particularly encouraged to apply, as the project seeks a delivery partner that aligns with the Environmental Agency AOMR Asset Operation, Maintenance and Response Framework SW Hub Framework. The project, valued at GBP 100,000 with a possible extension due to environmental conditions, provides a notable business opportunity for entities capable of delivering under specified award criteria, focusing on price and quality. The works are scheduled to commence on 23 July 2026, with completion expected by 21 October 2026, subject to extension needs.

Notice Title

ED0425-26 Ottery St Mary Weir Repairs and Desilt

Notice Description

East Devon District Council (EDDC) abstracts water for the Mill Leat ("the Leat") from the River Otter at the Head Weir, located upstream of Ottery St Mary. The abstraction is controlled by a weir at the upstream end of the Mill Leat ("the Weir"). Deterioration of the Weir structure has resulted in flows bypassing the crest, leading to inadequate water levels in the River Otter for the adjacent Head Weir fish pass and eel pass to function effectively. The proposed works comprise the removal and replacement of the existing Weir structure, together with maintenance dredging of the Leat. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining all relevant Environmental Permits.
