Tender: Reopening of Devon & Somerset Standing List of Approved Contractors for Maintenance and Building Works – 2026

About

The Devon & Somerset Standing List of Approved Contractors (SLoAC) is reopening for 2026 and seeks pre-qualified contractors to deliver maintenance, improvement and building works across Devon and Somerset. The arrangement provides a pre-approved list across 39 work categories, split across 10 geographic areas, with works delivered in any or all of 15 geographic sub areas; projects can be up to £2,000,000 each, with most works ranging between £5,000 and £250,000 and provision for works below £5,000. SLoAC 2025 was created last year to replace the previous list that had been in operation since 1 April 2016, and this is the first reopening of SLoAC 2025. Contractors will be appointed to the SLoAC by meeting minimum standards via pass/fail questions, and the award of specific projects will be subject to separate competitive procurement processes for which only approved SLoAC contractors will be eligible; contractors must obtain and maintain accreditation from the Comprehensive Accreditation Service Provider to be selected for projects, though accreditation is not a condition of joining the SLoAC. The SLoAC is also open for use by other public bodies within Devon and Somerset.
