## Summary

This procurement process, initiated by Mid Devon District Council, concerns the redevelopment of the former 'Vale Vets' building, now known as The Laurels, situated at Station Road, Tiverton, EX165 4LF. The project aims to convert this location into six self-contained flats for temporary accommodation. It falls under the construction work industry category with an estimated contract value of £500,000 to £600,000. Currently in the tender stage, the procurement process is open for competition, allowing interested parties to submit their tenders by 9th March 2026. The project's enquiry period ends on 19th February 2026, and it employs an open procurement method detailed as a "Below threshold - open competition," inviting submissions via www.advantageswtenders.co.uk. The contract is expected to commence on 20th April 2026 and could potentially be extended by 12 months, as it has a renewal option of two six-month periods.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and redevelopment, especially those capable of executing projects related to accommodation infrastructure. It is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the emphasis on price and quality in the award criteria (40% and 60% weighting, respectively). Companies must ensure they meet the financial and insurance criteria, including audited accounts and specific levels of liability insurance, as well as compliance with health and safety policies. The tender’s open nature allows businesses to present competitive bids, making it a viable pathway for growth in the public sector construction domain. Businesses can benefit from engaging with the Mid Devon District Council, a sub-central government body with opportunities for long-term collaboration.
