Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured refurbishment works for traffic signals at East Street and Cannon Street. The requirement falls within highways civil engineering, including construction, foundation and surface works for highways and roads (CPV 45233000). The work is classified as construction works and is to be delivered in Bristol, in the South West of England. It concerns a defined highways asset intervention rather than general consultancy, supplies or routine maintenance. Businesses with capability in traffic signal infrastructure, highway construction and associated civil engineering would be the most relevant potential suppliers. The requirement was awarded through the council’s highways asset management and civils framework, specifically its provision for smaller highways civil engineering works.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bristol City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, through Lot 5 for highways civil engineering works. The submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 13 July 2026 to Cambrensis Civil Engineering Limited for £52,918.07 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 13 August 2026 to 12 October 2026. The award is active. The published information identifies the requirement, framework route and awarded supplier, but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or award-criteria breakdown. The process was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For businesses that did not win this contract, the award provides a clear example of Bristol City Council’s demand for small-scale highways civil engineering delivered through an existing framework route. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in traffic signal refurbishment, highway construction, foundations and surface works, together with the capacity to deliver a focused site-based intervention for a local authority. Experience of working within highways asset management requirements and responding to framework call-offs would strengthen its position. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist contractors can be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary technical competence, delivery capacity, health and safety controls and evidence of comparable highways work.
