## Summary

Devon County Council commissioned construction works for the Exeter Northbrook Surface Water Alleviation Scheme. The Northbrook Drainage Connections Scheme involves building seven oversized drainage connections within the Northbrook catchment, linking directly to the existing Northbrook culvert. The scope includes traffic management, excavation, drainage installation and reinstatement, together with confined-space access and work needed to connect into the existing culvert network. The work is delivered in Exeter, Devon. This is a civil engineering and drainage construction requirement, suited to contractors able to undertake below-ground drainage and associated highway or site reinstatement works. The buying organisation is Devon County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement formed part of the council’s Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30, under its first lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Devon County Council used a selective quotation procedure under its Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30; it was a below-threshold award under the framework and was not competitively reopened. The single lot was awarded to E. and J.W. Glendinning Limited. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026, with delivery running from 26 August to 13 November 2026. Its value is £172,438.69 excluding VAT, or £206,926.43 including VAT. The evaluation basis was the quotation procedure set out in Section 10 of the framework information. The contract is active. The requirement was classified as construction work, with the procurement category recorded as works.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Devon County Council for small-to-medium civil engineering works involving surface-water management, drainage connections and work within an existing culvert network. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in excavation, drainage installation, connection to live or existing drainage infrastructure, reinstatement and traffic management. Confined-space access and safe working arrangements are important differentiators because the project requires access to the existing culvert. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of framework work can be delivered by a suitably equipped specialist contractor rather than only by a major national organisation. Businesses targeting similar council work should be prepared to operate through the Minor Engineering Works Framework and respond effectively to its quotation procedure.
