Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council commissioned construction work to lay a water main across council-owned land at Burlorne Tregoose Farm in Cornwall. The requirement covers the physical installation of a water pipe and associated construction activity needed to complete the water-main route. Cornwall Council is the public-sector buyer and the work concerns its land, with the awarded activity recorded as taking place in the United Kingdom. This is a focused civil engineering and utility-infrastructure requirement rather than a general water-services contract. Businesses specialising in water-main installation, pipeline construction, utility works or related civil engineering may find the scope relevant, particularly where they work on projects requiring installation across public-sector land and coordination with a council landowner.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. It was run as a below-threshold tender, with one completed lot. Aquasource (SW) Ltd was awarded the work on 7 September 2026, following signature on 6 September 2026. The contract runs from 7 September to 19 October 2026. Its value is £60,805 excluding VAT, or £72,966 including VAT. Cornwall Council selected the supplier for the water-main laying works across its land at Burlorne Tregoose Farm. The available outcome records one award and one active contract, both relating to the complete requirement. The procurement was classified as construction work and was handled below the relevant threshold.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award is a clear indication that Cornwall Council buys relatively contained water-main and utility construction packages on its land. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical capability in laying water pipes, managing civil engineering activities and completing works on land controlled by the council. It would also need enough operational capacity to deliver a defined infrastructure package within a limited delivery window, while coordinating access, site activities and reinstatement with the landowner. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this type of council works package can suit a focused specialist rather than only a large national contractor.
