Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured highway construction work orders for the Cowick Street and Exe Bridges area of Exeter, under reference FWKORD0045 J12131/2. The requirement covers construction work delivered in Exeter and forms part of the council’s arrangements for highway works. The procurement is intended to support work orders valued at or below £200,000, with the wider arrangement involving six suppliers. The awarded supplier is Kennford Tarmacadam Ltd, an SME based in Exeter. This opportunity is therefore relevant to civil engineering, road construction, highway maintenance and surfacing businesses able to deliver construction work for Devon County Council, particularly those operating in or able to serve Exeter and the surrounding area. The buyer is Devon County Council, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective, below-threshold award under an existing framework, without a competitive call-off. One lot was awarded to Kennford Tarmacadam Ltd. The award was made on 7 August 2026 and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract runs from 7 August 2026 to 9 October 2026. Its value is £21,427.08 excluding VAT, or £25,712.50 including VAT. The procurement description states that highway work orders under or equal to £200,000 are intended to be awarded to six suppliers. The award covered construction work for the Exeter delivery location. The tender and contract are below the relevant threshold, and the recorded tender status is complete while the contract status is active.

This award shows that Devon County Council uses a framework route to place relatively small highway construction work orders, including work in Exeter, and that an SME can be selected for this type of requirement. Competitors would need a credible civil engineering or highway construction operation, with the practical capacity to undertake individual orders up to £200,000 and deliver them in Exeter or the surrounding Devon area. Road construction, highway maintenance and tarmacadam businesses are the closest fit to the recorded construction requirement. Suppliers should also be able to work within a multi-supplier framework arrangement and respond to the council’s process for below-threshold call-offs. The selected supplier’s local Exeter base indicates that geographic reach and the ability to mobilise promptly for local highway works may be commercially relevant when comparable requirements return.
