UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Devon District Council is buying construction work to supply and install a footpath at Tarka Leisure Centre, together with dropped kerbs. The specified surfacing is Flexipave or an approved similar product, and the work must follow the provided technical specifications. This is a small civil engineering and external works requirement, covering the physical construction and installation of the access route rather than general leisure-centre services. The buying organisation is North Devon District Council, based in Barnstaple. The requirement is suitable for businesses that undertake footpath construction, surfacing, kerb installation and associated groundwork, particularly contractors able to deliver a defined site-based works package for a leisure facility. The procurement is classified as construction work.

The procurement reached tender: North Devon District Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot. Suppliers could submit electronic offers, and enquiries had to be submitted by 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The tender submission deadline was 13 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 December 2026. Its estimated value is £16,000 excluding VAT, or £19,200 including VAT. The council will award the contract on the basis of lowest price. The tender is below the relevant threshold. The procurement requires Flexipave or an approved similar footpath solution and dropped kerbs, with delivery and installation carried out in accordance with the specifications.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized construction contractors with practical experience in footpath and access works. Relevant capability includes installing Flexipave or an approved equivalent surfacing system, constructing dropped kerbs and completing the associated groundwork to the council’s technical specifications. Contractors should be able to manage a short, defined works package at a leisure-centre site, coordinate installation activities and provide a finished pedestrian route suitable for use. The requirement is explicitly identified as suitable for SMEs, so it is accessible to firms with focused civil engineering, surfacing, paving or kerbing specialisms rather than only large main contractors. Businesses able to demonstrate reliable site delivery and compliant construction workmanship are the most natural fit, with the award decision based on price.
