The Future High Streets Fund (FHSF) expenditure deadline of March 2025 had been softened from a spend deadline to a committed by deadline with funds defrayed as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Previously the Bradley Lane project was 100% grant funded, however, MHCLG approved a funding swap to change the non-committed Bradley Lane funding into the Market Hall project reducing the amount of TDC capital for that project. This resulted in the unspent non-committed budget for Bradley Lane (principally the £987,000 earmarked to transfer to Devon County Council) being released of any deadline constraints.
Ideally, in addition to demolishing the existing buildings, the site should be remediated at the same time to remove any contamination - the project scope did not originally include this as it was not possible due to the time constraints imposed on the grant funds. Doing this would eliminate a significant development barrier and reducing risk thereby increasing the land value and the deliverability of any proposed scheme - both in terms of viability and timescale. By doing it with the contractor onsite the efficiencies are significantly improved as it reduces the need to double handle vast quantities of rubble and eliminates time / mobilisation delay and costs.
Given these advantages officers asked the onsite demolition contractor, Haywood Crushing Demolition (HCD), to provide a scope and cost estimate. The base cost is £254,990 and we have allowed for an additional contingency of £108,610 (40%) to mitigate unforeseen elements.
Rationale
HCD is uniquely positioned to undertake the remediation as they are already on-site, offering significant cost savings compared to engaging a new contractor or remobilisation costs and potential price increases. The works can be incorporated into the existing demolition contract.
Remediating the site before sale is strategically beneficial, as developers would otherwise factor remediation costs into their purchase price. A "clean" site accompanied by certificates and guarantees will likely increase the land value, shorten delivery window and ultimately make the opportunity much more attractive to interested parties.
Teignbridge District Council (TDC) has submitted a detailed Planning Application for 23 new flats within a multi-storey apartment block, together with associated highway works and external works.
TDC are seeking a Design and Build Constructor via a Single Stage Tender who would be responsible for delivering this scheme in line with the planning and design criteria as set out in the attached Employer's Requirements including achieving Passivhaus Plus Certification of the dwellings.
Currently the site has conditional planning permission, and the successful tenderer would be required to continue dialogue with the Local Planning Authority and TDC to discharge the planning conditions.
Design and Build Contractors have been invited to tender on this opportunity and are required to submit their responses, queries and questions via the Proactis Pro-Contract system www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk .

Strata Service Solutions are extending the current contract with Civica for their open revenues product in use at Teignbridge District Council for 2 years taking this contract to June 2028.
Teignbridge District Council are acting as the lead authority for the South West Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme (SWRCMP) which is 100% funded by the Environment Agency (EA).
This programme is the largest of the National Coastal Monitoring Programme regions, encompassing 2450 km of coast between Portland Bill in Dorset and Beachley Point on the border with Wales. It was established in 2006 and is in its 4th phase of EA funding (2006-2011, 2011-2016, 2016-2021, 2021-2027). The funding for this phase is over £9.5m.
The programme collects different types of coastal monitoring data, including topographic beach survey data, bathymetric data, LiDAR, aerial photography and habitat mapping. The Programme also has a network of 13 directional wave buoys and tide gauges around the South West coast. This data feeds into a long term dataset showing changes to the beaches and coastline of the South West. It allows us, working with Risk Management Authorities, to better understand the processes affecting our coast ensuring that coastal defence schemes are designed based on reliable information.
Our data is made available via our coastal website which is the show case for our monitoring programme. Home - SWRCMP (coastalmonitoring.org)
Since 2006 the coastal monitoring team (known as Plymouth Coastal Observatory, PCO) have been based at the University of Plymouth renting two rooms, one as an office and one for their surveying equipment. The Programme’s large data archives, currently around 30Tb, are stored on the University’s system.
The Programme is funded in phases, with this phase from 01 April 2021 to 31 March 2023. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have not yet signed the contract for them to host PCO from 01 April 2021 so, although this waiver is including all costs for this phase, theoretically the first two years are already owed to the University. Money has been set aside in the Programme’s budget for this.
The contract will cover capture of swath and single beam bathymetry to a combination of IHO Order 1A (multibeam) and IHO Special Order (single beam) covering a total area of up to 57 km2 at Bideford Bay in North Devon
Lifeguard provision for beaches throughout Teignbridge District Council. RPI increases included as well as a 2.5% increase each year.

Teignbridge District Council is procuring on behalf of Strata Service Solutions Ltd - the councils' IT teckal company.
The scope of this contract will be to address the repair and maintenance of a number of boundary walls, fences and footpaths within twenty two closed churchyards in the Teignbridge District. Surveys were undertaken by the Authority's Structural Engineers in 2008 (now superseded), which highlighted a number of defects requiring remediation at that time and works including minor re-pointing & re-setting, anchoring, minor re-building and in some cases complete re-build schemes were implemented. This contract is a continuation of this remedial repair and maintenance work and the contract will operate for three years and costs reimbursement through re-measurement is based upon a schedule of rates priced by the successful contractor. Once appointed, the successful contractor will be expected to respond to reactive requests to implement remedial works within 28day, but an initial visit and rapid deployment to remove or stabilise dangerous walls maybe necessary in some urgent cases on request form the client. Once appointed the contractor will then undertake the works which will be recharged on a re-measurement basis.
Remediation of the site to deliver :
