UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council procured the design, construction and delivery of a hardwood pedestrian footbridge in kit form. The bridge is a single-span structure measuring 11 metres, intended to improve access along the South West Coast Path where the route passes through a narrow, eroded section. The kit is to be delivered to Wembury, Devon (PL9 0DZ). The requirement combines bridge design and fabrication with delivery of a bridge kit; associated work is footbridge construction. The buyer is Devon County Council, and the procurement covers one bridge requirement.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to CTS Bridges Limited. Devon County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 8 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £23,500 excluding VAT (£28,200 including VAT). The award is active and the contract is active. The published award data identifies the supplier and the bridge requirement but does not set out evaluation criteria or a scoring basis.

For suppliers seeking similar bridge work from Devon County Council, this award indicates demand for a bespoke, small-scale pedestrian bridge rather than a broad construction package. A credible competitor would need to design and build a hardwood single-span footbridge, supply it in kit form and arrange delivery to the specified site. Experience producing bridge structures and handling delivery for a constrained route would be relevant to the requirement’s purpose: restoring access on an eroded section of the South West Coast Path. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this particular contract was awarded to a smaller specialist business. The route used was limited competition below the applicable threshold, so familiarity with this type of buyer-led competitive process may help suppliers prepare for comparable requirements.
