Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured construction works to improve the bus integration area at Barnstaple Railway Station. The scope covers remodelling the existing station forecourt, installing new surface drainage and paving slabs, providing bus shelters, constructing a Tiger crossing across the existing bus lane and car park entrance, and building a mini-roundabout at the Station Road junction. This is a transport-infrastructure and civil-engineering requirement, classified under CPV 45000000 for construction work. Delivery is in Barnstaple, Devon, at and around the railway station and its approaches. The buyer is Devon County Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement combines public-realm works, highway-interface construction, pedestrian safety improvements, drainage, surfacing and passenger-transport facilities within one integrated station-area project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Montel Civil Solutions Ltd, with the contract signed on 23 July 2026. The award was made for the single lot under a selective, competitive below-threshold procedure using a framework. The contract is active and runs from 14 September 2026 to 16 November 2026. Its value is £428,200.80 excluding VAT and £513,840.96 including VAT. The award concerns construction works for the full Barnstaple Railway Station bus-integration enhancement scheme. The process was competitive, and the selected supplier is Montel Civil Solutions Ltd. The published outcome therefore records a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender, with one supplier appointed for the complete requirement.

This requirement indicates demand for a civil-engineering contractor able to deliver coordinated transport-site works rather than a single trade package. A credible competitor would need practical capability in forecourt remodelling, drainage, paving and surfacing, bus-shelter installation, traffic-management interfaces, pedestrian-crossing construction and small highway-junction works. The project also calls for careful working around an operational railway station, bus lane and car-park entrance, with the ability to manage public access and interfaces between several construction disciplines. Montel Civil Solutions Ltd, identified as an SME, shows that this scale of integrated local-authority works can be delivered by an appropriately resourced smaller business. Suppliers targeting similar council requirements should be able to demonstrate comparable civil-works experience, site coordination, safety management and framework delivery capability.
