Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured construction works for the Little Cowarne requirement in Herefordshire. The work falls within the construction sector and is described as construction works rather than a supply or professional services contract. The delivery area is Little Cowarne, within Herefordshire. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the requirement was managed as a below-threshold call-off under an existing framework. The awarded supplier, Cambrensis Civil Engineering Limited, is a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Abergavenny. The procurement therefore provides a clear example of the council buying locally delivered construction or civil engineering capability through a framework arrangement, with the requirement focused on a defined construction project rather than a broader programme of services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a competitive selective process under a framework agreement. There was one completed lot. Cambrensis Civil Engineering Limited was awarded the contract. The works commenced on 24 August 2026, the contract was signed on that date, and the contract period ran to 11 September 2026; the procurement description also records formal execution on 15 September 2026. The contract value was £36,289 excluding VAT and £43,546.80 including VAT. The award was below the relevant threshold. The published information identifies construction work as the subject of the award, with evaluation conducted through the competitive framework call-off route. The contract is recorded as active, while the tender itself is complete.

For competitors, this award indicates demand from Herefordshire Council for short, defined construction projects that can be delivered through an established framework. A credible supplier for a future requirement of this type would need practical construction and civil engineering capability, the capacity to mobilise and complete works within a tightly defined delivery period, and experience of working for a public-sector client. Familiarity with competitive framework call-offs would also be commercially relevant, including the ability to respond to the framework’s competition and provide clear evidence of delivery capability. The successful business was an SME specialising in civil engineering, suggesting that firms of this scale and specialism can compete for council construction work where they can demonstrate suitable resources, relevant project experience and reliable local delivery.
