Summary of the contracting process

North Devon District Council procured refurbishment works at Gaydon Street Depot to consolidate and make minor alterations to existing buildings and structures. The work adapts the facilities to improve accessibility and provide additional welfare facilities for the Council’s Parks Service. This is a building refurbishment and alteration project, rather than a new-build scheme. Delivery is in North Devon; the Council is based in Barnstaple. The requirement focuses on changes to an existing depot site and its buildings, with practical improvements to staff facilities and access. The work falls within building construction (CPV 45210000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Grills Renovations and Refurbishments Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Crediton. The award date was 5 October 2026, at £189,560.61 excluding VAT (£227,472.73 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 2 March 2027, with a possible one-month extension if supply of parts, fixtures or fittings causes issues. North Devon District Council used an open competition below the applicable threshold. One lot covered the works; the tender estimate was £160,000 excluding VAT. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. Eleven bids were received, with ten reaching the final stage. The selection requirements covered financial capacity, insurance, health and safety, equality compliance, supply-chain payment, relevant experience and contract examples, subcontractor management, organisational standards, carbon reporting and modern slavery.

This award shows demand from North Devon District Council for refurbishment of an operational depot, including building consolidation, minor alterations, accessibility adaptations and improved staff welfare facilities. A credible competitor for similar work would need to plan and deliver alterations within existing buildings and structures, while coordinating the supply of parts, fixtures and fittings. The Council’s assessment also treated relevant project experience and contract examples, subcontractor management, financial capacity and insurance as important, alongside health and safety and organisational standards. Suppliers should be prepared to evidence compliance with equality legislation, prompt supply-chain payment, carbon emissions reporting and action against modern slavery in supply chains. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, and an SME won this competition. Price mattered, but quality carried substantial weight.
