Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council commissioned works and related nature reserve services for the Connecting the Culm programme at Mountstephen Farm and Little Turberfield, near Tiverton Parkway, Devon. The requirement covers nature-based solutions to address water-quality failures from high-risk outfalls from the M5 motorway. The work is intended to improve water quality in the Spratford Stream catchment by filtering sediment and pollutants from a National Highways outfall, while increasing biodiversity and improving resilience to flooding and drought. The procurement is categorised as construction work and nature reserve services. It forms part of a wider 25-year delivery blueprint for the River Culm and its catchment, alongside related projects involving Network Rail, DRIP and Grant in Aid.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The tender closed on 17 July 2026, with enquiries accepted until 10 July 2026. It had one lot, evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%, and was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The lot’s estimated value was £144,000 excluding VAT, or £172,800 including VAT. Landmarc UK Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 28 August to 30 October 2026. Its value is £91,620 excluding VAT, or £109,944 including VAT. The tender is recorded as complete and the contract as active.

For suppliers assessing comparable environmental construction work, this procurement demonstrates demand from Devon County Council for practical nature-based drainage and catchment interventions linked to highway pollution. Relevant capability includes delivering construction works in rural or land-management settings, designing or installing measures that filter sediment and pollutants, and working to improve water quality, biodiversity and resilience to flood and drought. Experience of projects beside major transport infrastructure, including motorway outfalls, would be directly relevant. Suppliers should be able to work with the technical scale and sizing requirements produced through the National Highways HEWRAT tool, and coordinate with local communities and wider programme partners. The successful supplier was a large company, but the requirement was also assessed as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
