Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council procured rock trap and drainage installation on Wilton Road. This is civil engineering and drainage construction work intended to manage water and rockfall risks along the road. The work is located in Herefordshire, England. The council is the buyer, and the requirement was organised as a single lot. The scope identified is installation of rock traps and drainage; the procurement description does not provide further technical specifications or quantities.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Owen Pell Limited. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 19 October 2026 to 15 January 2027. Its value is £499,856.05 excluding VAT (£599,827.26 including VAT). The council used a selective competition under a framework agreement, below the relevant threshold. The award is active, and the contract is active. The available details identify one lot and one successful supplier; they do not state the evaluation criteria or how bids were scored.

This award shows demand from Herefordshire Council for road-related rock trap and drainage installation, delivered as a defined civil works package through a framework competition. Owen Pell Limited, an SME, was selected, demonstrating that a smaller contractor can win this type of requirement. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in installing rockfall protection and drainage on roads, with the workforce, equipment and delivery management to carry out construction works safely and to the council’s requirements. Relevant experience delivering comparable highway or civil engineering projects would support a competitive offer. The work is specific to rock traps and drainage rather than general construction, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate capability in both elements.
