Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council commissioned chalk surfacing on an approximately 850-metre section of the King Charles III England Coast Path at Afton Down, following the Tennyson Trail. This is a construction project to improve the path surface along that route. The work is on the Isle of Wight.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and the work was placed as a single lot. M.C.M. Construction Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October to 30 October 2026. Its value is £41,466 excluding VAT (£49,759 including VAT).

This award shows that the council buys focused path-surfacing works for the England Coast Path, including work on a route that follows an existing trail. A future competitor would need to demonstrate the practical construction capability to surface a defined length of path with chalk and deliver works on the Isle of Wight. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation standard or specific qualification requirements.
