Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured ancillary construction works for the Mill Street Footbridge Replacement project. The requirement covers construction work associated with replacing the footbridge, rather than the main bridge replacement itself. The buying organisation is Devon County Council, based in Exeter, and the work is delivered in Devon. The procurement was made under the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30, using its Lot 2 arrangement. This is a local-authority infrastructure requirement suited to contractors undertaking minor engineering, footbridge-related and associated construction works. The named supplier is Ultim8 Construction Ltd, an SME based in Honiton, Devon, indicating that the requirement was suitable for a smaller construction business with the capability to deliver ancillary works within the council’s framework arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Ultim8 Construction Ltd. Devon County Council used a selective procedure and awarded a competitive work order under the Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30, Lot 2, through its quotation procedure. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 11 August to 2 October 2026. Its value is £27,844.88 excluding VAT, or £33,413.86 including VAT. The requirement was below the applicable threshold. The contract is active and relates to one completed lot. The procurement was evaluated through the framework’s quotation procedure, in accordance with Section 10 of the Framework Information (Volume 2).

This award provides a clear example of Devon County Council buying small-scale ancillary construction work for a footbridge replacement through its Minor Engineering Works Framework. Competitors seeking similar work with this buyer would need to deliver construction and minor engineering activities associated with local-authority infrastructure projects, and to compete through the council’s framework and quotation route. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement was accessible to a smaller construction business rather than only a major contractor. Relevant firms would benefit from experience in footbridge or other civil-engineering support works, the capacity to complete a defined work order within a short delivery programme, and the ability to meet the council’s framework requirements and quotation process.
