Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured highways civil engineering works under Lot 5 of its Highways Asset Management and Civils Framework 2025–2029. The requirement concerned works for complete or part construction and civil engineering, with the project described as the Manor Road / College Road scheme. The work is to be delivered in the South West of England. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity, and sits within the council’s highways asset management and civil engineering programme. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that delivery was not restricted to large national contractors.

The procurement has been awarded and completed as a call-off from a framework agreement, using a selective procedure. The tender deadline was 25 August 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 25 August 2026. Cambrensis Civil Engineering Limited was selected for the contract at £67,307.85 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 18 December 2026. The award is active. The stated requirement was assessed as a single highways civil engineering call-off under Lot 5, whose framework scope covers works up to £499,999 excluding VAT. The published outcome therefore identifies both the selected supplier and the awarded value for this individual requirement.

This outcome is relevant to civil engineering contractors able to deliver highways and related construction works for Bristol City Council through a framework call-off route. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a major contractor. Credible competitors would need practical highways civil engineering capability, the capacity to complete a defined road-related scheme within a short delivery window, and the organisational readiness to operate under a public-sector framework. Experience of council highways work, reliable site delivery, suitable health and safety controls, and the ability to price and respond to selective call-offs would strengthen a future competing position for this buyer’s asset management requirements.
