Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council commissioned road-signage works on the A376 between Clyst St Mary and Clyst St George. The project covers supplying and installing new signs, including sign plates, posts and foundations, together with traffic management. The work is classified as construction and is to be delivered in Devon. It was procured as a work order under the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30, within its first lot. This is a specific highway improvement requirement rather than a general supply of signs: delivery involves the associated installation and traffic-management activities as well as providing the sign components.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Cormac Contracting Ltd. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 14 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £22,456.45 excluding VAT (£26,947.74 including VAT). Devon County Council used a selective, below-threshold framework work-order process, with competition between suppliers under the framework’s quotation procedure. The requirement was handled as one lot. The award is active, and the contract is active. The contract period covers the delivery and installation work; the procurement description identifies new roadside signage, foundations and traffic management as the scope.

For suppliers seeking comparable work from Devon County Council, this award shows demand for small-scale highway signage installation through the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework. A credible competitor would need to supply sign plates and posts, construct foundations and manage traffic safely while carrying out roadside works. The combined scope favours a contractor able to coordinate materials, installation and traffic management, rather than a sign supplier offering products alone. The council used a competitive quotation route among framework suppliers, so relevant highway delivery experience and the ability to respond to work-order quotations are commercially pertinent. This is a focused local-authority construction requirement, suited to firms with the operational capacity to deliver a defined road-signage project and its associated site works.
