Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council procured emergency void repair works at the Eastern Esplanade car park in Ventnor. The requirement was construction work to repair a void at the car park; the award records the work under the broad construction category and identifies the delivery area as the Isle of Wight. This is a site-specific civil engineering and groundworks requirement, rather than a general maintenance or consultancy service. The council is the buyer, and the selected supplier, OPEX Groundworks and Civil Engineering Ltd, is based in Cowes. The repair was described as an emergency, indicating a focused response to a particular defect at the car park.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council made a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, and the single lot was completed. OPEX Groundworks and Civil Engineering Ltd was selected and signed the contract on 1 June 2026. The contract runs from 29 June to 27 July 2026. Its value is £56,010 excluding VAT, or £67,212 including VAT. The award data records the selected supplier and construction works, but does not state a separate award date or award value. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the route was a non-competitive direct award, rather than a scored competition. The requirement was confined to the emergency void repair at Eastern Esplanade car park in Ventnor.

This award demonstrates a specific council need for rapid groundworks and civil engineering to address a void at a public car park. A credible supplier for a comparable requirement would need to assess and repair ground failure safely, organise a focused site response, and complete works within a short, defined programme. The selected contractor operates in groundworks and civil engineering, showing that this specialist capability was relevant to the requirement. The award was made directly without competition, so it does not reveal a competitive scoring model or published qualification threshold. For firms monitoring this buyer’s future requirements, the useful commercial signal is the council’s demand for practical, site-based emergency repair capability on the Isle of Wight, not a broader programme of construction work.
