UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured highway stabilisation works at the A377 Weirmarsh Slip. The scope is construction of a 50-metre retaining wall to stabilise the highway, comprising approximately 23.5 metres of piled wall with a timber parapet and approximately 26.5 metres of mass concrete wall with a masonry parapet. The works also include associated highway resurfacing over an estimated 970 metres. This is a civil engineering and construction requirement, classified under CPV 45000000 for construction work. The work is associated with Devon County Council’s highway network and is specifically located at Weirmarsh Slip on the A377. The procurement is for physical infrastructure works rather than routine maintenance or consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through one lot. Devon County Council used a selective, competitive procedure, described as a below-threshold award under a framework. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and awarded to Bridge Civil Engineering Limited. The gross contract value is £1,293,132. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 12 March 2027, with work scheduled to start on site on 14 September 2026. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies Bridge Civil Engineering Limited as the selected supplier for the complete highway stabilisation requirement. No separate lot values or multiple supplier awards are recorded.

This procurement indicates demand from Devon County Council for substantial highway civil engineering delivered through a framework route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to design and construct retaining structures, including piled and mass concrete walls, install timber and masonry parapets, and complete highway resurfacing. It would also need the project management, site supervision, plant, labour and safety controls needed to work on an operational road and coordinate several linked construction activities. Experience delivering comparable highway stabilisation or retaining-wall schemes would help demonstrate capability. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of civil engineering work can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller business.
