Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council procured demolition works for The Princess of Wales Pub at 41 Westall Road, Debden, Essex. The requirement covers demolition of the building and associated site preparation and clearance work. It is a construction and civil engineering opportunity focused on safely dismantling and removing an existing public house and preparing the site. The council is the public body buying and managing the work. Delivery is in Debden, within Epping Forest District, Essex. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate work packages, so the appointed contractor was responsible for the complete demolition scope. This suits demolition contractors and civil engineering businesses with the plant, operatives and site-management capability to undertake building demolition and clearance works for a local authority.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Epping Forest District Council used a below-threshold limited competition. MASTERMAC CIVILS LIMITED was selected for the demolition, site preparation and clearance works. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 7 September 2026. Its value is £41,645 excluding VAT, or £49,974 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was procured as one lot, which is complete, and the award relates to that whole lot. The stated classification is CPV 45111000 for demolition, site preparation and clearance work. The recorded award is active and the contract remains the relevant outcome of the completed competition.

This completed award demonstrates that Epping Forest District Council buys relatively small, defined demolition and clearance packages through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for similar work would need demonstrable experience in building demolition, site preparation and clearance, together with the equipment, trained workforce and supervision needed to complete a full site package safely and efficiently. Local authority experience would help, particularly an understanding of controlled working near existing roads, properties and residents, and of managing waste, access and site handover. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can compete for the council’s civil engineering requirements. Firms that can deliver the complete demolition scope rather than only an isolated trade package would be well aligned with this purchasing pattern.
