## Summary

Devon County Council procured rockface stabilisation and highway protection works at Marine Parade, Shaldon, Devon. The project replaces an existing rock capture fence with additional rockface netting extending from the current netting to the foot of the cliff. The works include closing the highway and providing a diversion, vegetation, tree and Japanese knotweed clearance from the cliff and existing netting, rope-access operations, limited bank regrading, installation of new rockface netting, removal of the existing rock capture fence and installation of a new pedestrian fence. The procurement is categorised as construction work. Access for the cliff works is through The Crows Nest, at the top of the cliff. Devon County Council is both the buying authority and the organisation responsible for the project.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Devon County Council made a competitive, selective below-threshold award under its Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026–30, Lot 2. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and awarded to Kennford Tarmacadam Ltd. The awarded value is £264,609.30 excluding VAT, or £317,531.16 including VAT. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 27 October 2026. One completed lot was awarded and the contract is active. The process used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender; the competition was conducted among suppliers under the relevant framework arrangements. The scope and award were treated as construction works, with the selected supplier responsible for the complete rockface and associated highway works.

This award indicates demand from Devon County Council for specialist minor engineering and cliff-stabilisation capability. A credible future supplier would need to coordinate highway closures and diversion routes while delivering work in a constrained, safety-critical coastal environment. Relevant capability includes rope access, cliff and vegetation clearance, Japanese knotweed control, small-scale bank regrading, rockface netting supply and installation, removal of rockfall protection structures, and pedestrian fencing. Experience of working alongside private land access arrangements would be important, as would the ability to interpret engineering reports and drawings and manage several linked activities as one delivery package. Suppliers competing for similar framework work would need sufficient operational capacity, site safety controls and practical experience of rockface, highway or minor civil engineering projects.

## Notice

Devon County Council (DCC) intends to award under its Minor Engineering Works Framework 2026-30 under Lot 2 , in accordance with Section 10 of the Framework Information (Volume 2). The proposed project relates to: Historically, Devon County Council (DCC) installed a rock capture fence to protect the highway. Following a landslide/rock fall incident in the 90s, DCC carried out improvements on the rock capture fence, along with installing rock face netting on the private land, without prejudice. Due to the rock capture fence requiring extensive repairs, DCC will now install additional rock face netting to the base of the cliff, allowing us to remove the need of a rock capture fence. We need to: 1. Close the highway and install a diversion route for the duration of the works. 2. Carry out vegetation clearance/tree clearance/Japanese knotweed clearance on existing rock face netting/cliff area. This need to be carried out via rope access. Access will be via the property "The Crows Nest", at the top of the cliff. Please refer to drawings. 3. Regrade small area of bank as noted in the report produced by Frederick Sherrells. 4. Supply/Install new rock face netting from the existing netting, down to the base of the cliff. Please refer to drawings. 5. Remove the existing rock capture fence as per the drawings. 6. Install new pedestrian fence as per the drawings.
