UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council procured construction works for the England Coastal Path on the Isle of Wight, covering the section from Bouldnor Car Park to Yarmouth Green. The work involves quartering back to the edge of the existing concrete path, cutting back vegetation, excavating the existing aggregate path and installing a new concrete path two metres wide. This is a coastal access and path improvement project, classified as construction work. The Council is the public-sector buyer, with delivery taking place on the Isle of Wight. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and awarded to MCM Construction, an Isle of Wight-based construction business.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MCM Construction on 30 July 2026. It used a direct award below the threshold without competition, rather than an open tender. The award covers the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active from 7 September 2026 to 9 October 2026. Its value is £60,043 excluding VAT, or £72,051.60 including VAT. The Council evaluated the requirement through the direct-award route, so the published process does not set out a competitive scoring basis. The contract concerns construction works for the Bouldnor-to-Yarmouth Green section of the coastal path.

This award demonstrates demand from the Isle of Wight Council for small, defined coastal-path construction projects combining groundwork and concrete paving. A credible future supplier would need to manage path works in a public-access environment, including vegetation clearance, excavation and preparation of an existing aggregate route, and construction of a two-metre-wide concrete path. Relevant capability in civil engineering, footpath construction and site management would be important, alongside the capacity to complete a short, geographically focused works package. The successful supplier was an Isle of Wight SME, indicating that a locally based small construction business can be well placed for this type of Council requirement. Experience delivering durable public paths and coordinating practical site works would strengthen competitiveness when similar work returns.
