Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council commissioned construction works for the Sport England Newtown Community Transformation project in Exeter. The requirement covers pedestrian and cyclist priority infrastructure along the Clifton Road corridor, in two defined areas known as Section 3 and Section 4. The work falls within the broad construction category (CPV 45000000). Devon County Council is the buying organisation and the project is delivered in Exeter, Devon. The procurement was made through the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–2030, Lot 1. This is therefore relevant to civil engineering, highways, public realm and active travel contractors able to deliver infrastructure works in an urban corridor. The selected supplier, Kennford Tarmacadam Ltd, is a small or medium-sized enterprise specialising in the type of construction delivery covered by this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Kennford Tarmacadam Ltd under Lot 1 of the Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–2030. It used a direct award under the framework, described as a below-threshold award, with the framework procedure identified as selective. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 6 November 2026. Its value is £183,943.38 excluding VAT, or £220,732.06 including VAT. The procurement was evaluated through the framework’s direct-award arrangements, in accordance with Section 9 of the Framework Information, Volume 2. The completed opportunity concerned one lot and one supplier. The contract is recorded as active, while the underlying tender is complete.

This award is evidence of demand from Devon County Council for short-duration minor engineering works supporting walking and cycling infrastructure in Exeter. Businesses that would be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need practical construction capability for pedestrian and cyclist priority measures, highways or public realm delivery, and the capacity to work along an existing urban road corridor. Experience of coordinating works across separately defined project areas would be relevant, as would the ability to deliver construction activities within a council-led community transformation scheme. The route to market is significant: this requirement was placed through the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework rather than as a standalone open competition. Suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer would therefore need to understand framework participation and direct-award arrangements, alongside demonstrating suitable delivery experience and organisational capacity.
