Summary of the contracting process

Bath and North East Somerset Council commissioned highway and civil engineering works for Farrington Gurney. The project is described as works approval for Farrington Gurney with M Group; the listed classifications indicate construction and highway works, but no specific work items or site address are identified. The procurement is categorised as works (CPV 45200000). The recorded delivery location is England, United Kingdom, while the buyer is Bath and North East Somerset Council, based in Keynsham. This is a local-authority infrastructure requirement, relevant to contractors delivering highway construction and civil engineering works in England. The title refers to an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract, Option A.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to M Group Highways Ltd following an open procedure. The award date was 5 October 2026, and the awarded value is £1.3 million. The contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender was due to close on 5 October 2026. The stated suitability assessment excludes SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements are recorded. The requirement is presented as a single project for Farrington Gurney, with no separate lot awards stated. The title identifies an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract, Option A; the published description says the works were approved with M Group. M Group Highways Ltd is identified as the selected supplier.

This award shows Bath and North East Somerset Council buying highway and civil engineering works for a defined local project through an open procedure and an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract, Option A. The selected supplier, M Group Highways Ltd, is recorded as a large business, and the council marked the requirement unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Competitors seeking to match this demand when it returns would need the organisational capacity to deliver substantial highway construction and civil engineering work for a local authority, alongside experience working under NEC4 ECC Option A. The procurement provides a concrete example of the council’s highway works requirement and the scale and supplier profile it selected. The data does not describe technical specifications or particular accreditations, so it does not establish additional qualification requirements.
