East Devon District Council: what its committee papers say about buying, and who supplies it.
East Devon District Council is a district council in the South West. We hold 46 of its award notices, 4 contracts due to end within 18 months, and 1 committee paper from the last 120 days that talk about buying. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads East Devon District Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 44 of those 46 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every East Devon District Council award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.

| D R Jones | £910,781 | 3 |
| Build Care Plus Ltd | £585,959 | 1 |

Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards East Devon District Council has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
78% of East Devon District Council's awarded value went through open competition and 11% was awarded directly. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 78% (£5.2m)
- Other/Unspecified 11% (£750,599)
- Direct 11% (£712,130)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 4 largest by value on record for East Devon District Council, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Jun 2027 | 9 | ED0361-25 - LAD 1 Completion - Heating & Fabric Upgrades | Rand Associates Consultancy Services Ltd | £159,300 |
| 3 Sep 2027 | 11 | ED0395-25 Legal Services associated with leisure procurement | freeths | £53,300 |
| 1 Dec 2026 | 2 | ED0388-25 Legal advice associated with Leisure Strategy review | Freeths | £25,000 |
| 31 Dec 2026 | 3 | ED0282-23 - East Devon Local Plan and CIL Charging Schedule Viability Assessment | Three Dragons (LC) Ltd | £22,150 |
Procurement radar
Committee papers East Devon District Council published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying: a tender, an award, an extension, a gateway report, a waiver, or a procurement strategy, policy or performance report. It is a title match, so the odd paper lands here on a word rather than a decision.
| Meeting | Paper | Committee |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Jul 2026 | Fleet Procurement - Contract over £100kThe procurement forms part of the approved capital programme, with a total allocation of £ 5,935,000 agreed through the 2026/27 budget setting process and subsequently endorsed by the Budget Setting and Capital Allocation Panel, Cabinet and Full Council meetings. | Cabinet |

Where East Devon District Council spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by East Devon. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from East Devon District Council's own published papers, at https://democracy.eastdevon.gov.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as East Devon's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
