Summary of the contracting process

Mid Devon District Council is procuring works to erect a three-bedroom detached house on council-owned land adjacent to 5 Exon Buildings in the Mid Devon area. The requirement is a single-house residential construction project, covering the building work needed to deliver the completed property. The procurement is classified as house construction work and falls within the works category. It is suitable for businesses that undertake residential building and general construction projects, including small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The council is the buying organisation and will use its land for the development.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot with an estimated value of £290,000 excluding VAT, or £348,000 including VAT. The contract is planned to run from 8 December 2026 to 8 February 2028. Questions and enquiries had to be submitted by 5pm on 21 September 2026, and tender offers had to be submitted by noon on 7 October 2026. Electronic submission was allowed through the Advantage West Midlands Tenders portal, which also provided the tender documents and messaging facility. Bids are evaluated on quality at 60% and price at 40%.

This opportunity suits residential construction contractors able to deliver a three-bedroom detached house as a complete building project. The stated evaluation gives quality greater weight than price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a credible approach to delivering the required works, alongside a competitive commercial offer. The procurement is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant beyond large national contractors. Businesses considering the opportunity should review the tender documents for the conditions of participation and assess whether their construction capability, delivery resources and approach to quality meet the council’s requirements for this single-house development.
