Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council sought refurbishment works at 5 St Paul Street, Tiverton, for conversion to temporary accommodation. The project covers preparation of the existing building and site, removal and disposal of surplus materials, and refurbishment of the main building and associated structures. The scope includes accessible paths, external areas and perimeter walls, in line with the drawings and schedule of works. Contractors were also required to provide, adapt and commission services within the dwellings, including drainage, water supply, gas, electricity, heating, fire alarms, door access systems, telecoms and broadband. This is a building refurbishment and property adaptation project delivered in Tiverton, Devon.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submissions allowed through the Advantage South West ProContract portal. The enquiry deadline was 31 July 2026 at 17:00 and the tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 12:00. The single lot had a contract period from 28 September 2026 to 26 March 2027. Its estimated value was £41,666.67 excluding VAT, or £50,000 including VAT. Evaluation was based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. The procurement was subsequently cancelled. The stated reason was that all submissions came in above the project's budget allowance; the award status was cancelled on 19 August 2026.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises with the capability to deliver a complete refurbishment rather than a single specialist trade package. Relevant suppliers would need experience preparing occupied or existing buildings for new use, coordinating construction and building services, and completing associated external works. The required capability spans drainage, water, gas, electrical installations, heating, fire alarms, access control, telecoms and broadband, together with commissioning within dwellings. Contractors would also need to manage site preparation, waste removal, accessible routes, outside spaces, perimeter walls and compliance with the drawings and schedule of works. It was therefore most relevant to a capable principal contractor or coordinated refurbishment team.
