UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath Spa University procured groundworks and construction of a temporary haul road to provide access for the demolition works at Corston. The requirement covered the access road needed to support demolition activity, rather than general building construction or an ongoing highways maintenance service. The procurement was classified as services, with the related activity described under road repair, maintenance and associated services. Bath Spa University was the buyer and contracting organisation. The work was associated with the university’s site at Newton Park, Bath, and the named project location was Corston. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors able to undertake temporary access-road construction, haul-road groundworks and associated site preparation for demolition projects.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was a single-lot requirement. The contract was awarded to DAVE LUCEY LIMITED, a Frome-based supplier, on 11 May 2026. The contract value was £62,544.14 gross, excluding any wider values that are not stated. The contract period ran from 18 May 2026 to 5 June 2026, and the contract status is active. Evaluation led to an award for the road-related services described in the requirement; the published outcome does not set out separate price or quality weightings. The procurement was below the applicable threshold and used limited competition rather than an open procedure.

For a supplier assessing future work of this type, the award demonstrates demand from Bath Spa University for short, defined enabling works supporting demolition. A credible competitor would need practical groundworks capability, experience building temporary haul or access roads, and the plant, labour and supervision needed to complete a concentrated site package safely and quickly. Relevant experience in preparing and maintaining access routes for heavy demolition or construction traffic would strengthen a future response. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that this scale and delivery model can suit an appropriately resourced specialist contractor rather than only a national infrastructure business. Local operating capability around Bath, Somerset and nearby areas would also be commercially useful.
