## Summary

The University of Exeter commissioned ground preparation and surfacing works. The scope covers preparing the existing ground; supplying and installing concrete edging kerbs on Type 1 sub-base; adding Type 3 fill to adjust levels; installing Treetex T300 geotextile; and supplying and installing Cellweb filled with clean angular aggregate, then laying and consolidating the surface. Although the award classifies the requirement under services, the described work is groundworks and geotechnical construction. The work is for the University of Exeter in Exeter, with the supplier based in Broadclyst. The description identifies a specific construction package involving ground build-up, edge restraints, geotextile and cellular confinement, rather than a general geotechnical consultancy assignment.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. Jtt Contracting Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 11 August 2027. Its value is £33,245 excluding VAT (£39,894 including VAT). The requirement was treated as one lot. The published data gives no award date or evaluation criteria, so the award outcome is established by the selected supplier and active award rather than a stated scoring basis. The contract remains recorded as active. The award is for the ground preparation, kerbing, geotextile and Cellweb installation described for the University of Exeter.

For suppliers monitoring the University of Exeter’s groundworks demand, this award shows a small, defined package combining subgrade preparation, level build-up, concrete kerbs, geotextile and a Cellweb cellular confinement system with clean angular fill. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need practical capability to deliver these elements as an integrated installation, including handling and consolidating the finished surface. Familiarity with the named geotextile and cellular confinement products, or the ability to meet equivalent specification requirements, would be commercially relevant. The award went to a small business, showing that this scope was delivered by an SME rather than only a large contractor. The buyer used a below-threshold direct award without competition for this completed package; this indicates the route used here, not a guarantee of the approach for future work.
