Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned repairs to the Cascade Steps landing platform. This is a highways and civil engineering works contract, classified under CPV 45233000, for repairs to a specific landing platform rather than general road maintenance. The work is located in Bristol, in the South West of England. The procurement was made through the council’s Highways Asset Management and Civils Framework, using a call-off route. The scope described is limited to the landing platform repairs; no further work items are stated.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Walters UK Limited. The award was made on 17 September 2026, for £900,000. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 22 March 2027. The estimated procurement value was also £900,000. The council used a selective procedure to place a call-off under Lot 8, Option E of its Highways Asset Management and Civils Framework. The response deadline was 13 September 2026. The procurement was categorised as works and marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award scoring criteria or detailed eligibility requirements are stated.

This award confirms Bristol City Council’s demand for targeted highways and civil engineering repairs, specifically work to a landing platform. A supplier seeking to compete if this requirement returns to market would need credible capability in repairing highway-related structures and delivering civil works to the council’s required standard. The route used here was a call-off from the council’s Highways Asset Management and Civils Framework, so framework access and the ability to compete through its relevant lot and option would be commercially important. The selected supplier was Walters UK Limited, a large company, demonstrating that a supplier of substantial scale was successful; the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Suppliers should therefore assess both their delivery capacity for a focused repair project and their access to the relevant framework route.
