Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council commissioned highway construction work at Alphington Street and Willeys Avenue in Exeter. The work forms part of its programme of highway work orders, with individual orders capped at £200,000 and provision intended to cover six suppliers. The awarded order is identified with these two Exeter streets; the published scope does not describe specific tasks such as resurfacing, drainage or traffic management, so the requirement should be understood as local highway works rather than a particular engineering discipline. The award classifies the work as construction. Its delivery location is Devon, and the named street locations place this order in Exeter.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Devon County Council selected Cormac Contracting Ltd through a selective, non-competitive award under an existing framework, using the below-threshold route. The award was made on 29 September 2026 and the contract was signed that day. The contract period runs from 1 October to 30 October 2026. Its value is £9,261.26 excluding VAT, or £11,113.51 including VAT. The procurement is divided into one lot, which was completed. The work-order programme is described as intended for six suppliers, but this order names Cormac Contracting Ltd as the awarded supplier. No award-scoring criteria are stated for this framework call-off.

For contractors seeking comparable Devon County Council work, this award shows demand for small, street-specific highway construction orders placed through an existing framework, rather than a standalone open competition. A credible competitor would need to be appointed to the relevant framework and able to take on short-duration local works orders. The awarded supplier is a large contractor, indicating that established delivery capacity can meet this buyer’s requirements, although the order value and brief period point to work that is limited in scope compared with a major highways scheme. Firms with practical highway construction capability and the resources to mobilise in Exeter would be well placed to compete for similar requirements when the buyer next purchases this type of work. The published description does not identify a specialist technical discipline.
