Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council commissioned construction works at Ashley Lagoon to improve the safety and operation of the existing leachate balancing lagoon. The work comprises relining the lagoon, clearing vegetation, and installing an improved high-level water overflow with an associated steel access gantry. This is a defined civil engineering and construction package rather than a general maintenance service. Delivery is in Devon, England. The requirement was procured as a work order through the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30, under its first lot. The project combines lagoon lining and site clearance with drainage/overflow improvements and steel access infrastructure, so its scope is relevant to contractors experienced in civil engineering works at water or waste-related sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ULTIM8 CONSTRUCTION LIMITED. The council used a competitive quotation procedure under its Minor Engineering Works Framework, through a selective, below-threshold award route. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026 and runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £43,494.36 excluding VAT (£52,193.23 including VAT). The requirement was awarded as one lot. The published information describes the work and quotation procedure but gives no separate scoring breakdown or evaluation weighting.

For firms competing for similar Devon County Council work, this award indicates demand for small-scale civil engineering packages delivered through the council’s minor works framework. A credible supplier would need to combine lagoon relining and vegetation clearance with the installation of an overflow arrangement and a steel access gantry, and coordinate these elements as one site-based works package. Relevant experience in water-retaining or leachate infrastructure, construction sequencing and safe access would be commercially pertinent to this specific type of requirement. The council’s use of a competitive quotation procedure under an established framework also shows that framework eligibility and the ability to respond to quotation opportunities are important routes to this work.
