Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Devon County Council, located in Exeter, United Kingdom, under the title "FWKORD0045 J12131/2 Cowick Street / Exe Bridges, Exeter." This tender falls under the works industry category and involves Highways Work Orders that are under or equal to £200,000. The award stage was completed on 3rd August 2026, with the contract officially signed on the same date. The contract period extends from 7th August 2026 to 9th October 2026. The procurement method used was selective, conducted below threshold criteria under a framework agreement, indicating a non-competitive process tailored for a limited group of suppliers.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth in the construction industry, particularly for businesses specialising in road and highway infrastructure. The contract was awarded to Kennford Tarmacadam Ltd, a small and medium enterprise (SME) based in Exeter, which highlights the potential for local SMEs to secure similar contracts. Businesses with expertise in construction work, particularly those capable of fulfilling highway development and maintenance tasks, would find this type of procurement process advantageous for expansion and establishing long-term partnerships with public authorities like Devon County Council.
