UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council procured urgent masonry repair works for defective masonry on the turrets of a multi-storey car park. The requirement arose from an acute health and safety risk after a wall failed; storm damage was suspected, although this could not be proved. The works require specialist retrospective systems to rectify defects and secure the structure. The stated scope also recommended remedial work to the other turrets to prevent similar failures. This is a building repair and structural masonry requirement, classified under CPV 45262500 for masonry and bricklaying work. Delivery was in the Mid Devon area of Devon, with the council acting as the buying organisation. The selected contractor was Westcountry Maintenance Services Ltd, based in Bideford.

The procurement is complete and was awarded without competition as a below-threshold direct award. Westcountry Maintenance Services Ltd was selected for the masonry repair works. The contract was signed on 15 April 2026 and ran from 22 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. Its value was £50,497.83 excluding VAT, or £60,597.40 including VAT. The award and contract covered one requirement. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender is recorded as complete. The process was intended to address an urgent health and safety risk, and the description identifies specialist structural remedial systems as part of the solution. The procurement information does not set out a competitive evaluation basis, reflecting the direct-award route used.

This opportunity indicates demand from Mid Devon District Council for specialist remedial masonry and structural repair work on multi-storey car park structures. A credible future supplier would need practical expertise in diagnosing and rectifying defective masonry, securing unstable structures and installing retrospective systems that provide a durable structural fix. Experience of urgent health and safety repairs would be relevant, particularly where a wall failure creates an immediate risk and the cause may be uncertain. Contractors should also be able to assess related masonry defects across comparable structures, since the requirement identified a need to remedy other turrets to prevent recurrence. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of specialist works package can be delivered by a smaller maintenance or building-repair business.
