## Summary

Somerset Council procured boundary fencing works at New Stowey Farm in Somerset. The requirement covers removing 2,170 metres of existing derelict stock fencing and installing replacement post-and-wire fencing. It also includes five new field gates, with hanging and banging posts, two sections of approximately 10 metres of post-and-rail fencing to connect with existing fence lines, removal of derelict kissing gates and installation of two new kissing gates. The detailed specification covers the construction requirements. This is an outdoor fencing and access-infrastructure project, categorised as fencing, railing and safety equipment installation work. It is relevant to contractors experienced in agricultural fencing, gates, posts, rail fencing and associated site works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. Somerset Council selected S Date Fencing for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 9 September 2026. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 19 March 2027. Its value is £33,957 excluding VAT and £41,748 including VAT. The evaluation route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender, and the procurement was treated as works. The awarded requirement covers the full New Stowey Farm fencing and gate package, with S Date Fencing named as the supplier.

This award indicates demand from Somerset Council for practical rural fencing and access works delivered as a complete site package. A credible future competitor would need to remove and replace long runs of stock fencing, install agricultural field gates and associated posts, construct short post-and-rail tie-in sections, and replace kissing gates. The work calls for competent site teams able to manage fencing materials, gate installation, alignment with existing fence lines and removal of deteriorated infrastructure. Relevant experience should include agricultural or estate fencing, rural access points and small works projects delivered to a defined specification. Smaller specialist fencing businesses may be well placed where they can demonstrate capacity for several linked work elements.

## Notice
