Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured highway construction works for the A38 South Metrobus extension at Imperial Park bus stops. The scope falls within construction, foundation and surface works for highways and roads, covering activity delivered in the South West of England. This was a call-off under Lot 5 of the council’s Highways Asset Management and Civils Framework. The procurement was categorised as works and concerned the delivery of bus-stop infrastructure associated with the Metrobus extension. It was a council requirement rather than a general construction supply opportunity, so businesses should be relevant to civil engineering, highway construction, road surfacing or associated infrastructure works. The selected supplier was ETM Contractors Limited, a Bristol-based SME.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00. Bristol City Council awarded the contract to ETM Contractors Limited on 23 June 2026 for £118,706.91 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 18 September 2026. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was made under Lot 5, titled E23030 A38S Metrobus Extension – Imperial Park Bus Stops, within the wider highways asset management and civil engineering framework.

This award demonstrates demand from Bristol City Council for small-scale highway and public transport infrastructure works delivered through its established highways asset management and civils framework. A business seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need credible capability in highway construction, foundations, road surfacing and bus-stop or transport-related infrastructure. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that the work can be delivered by a smaller civil engineering contractor rather than only a major construction group. Familiarity with framework call-off arrangements would be commercially important, as would the operational capacity to deliver a defined infrastructure package for a local authority. Relevant businesses include highway contractors, civil engineering SMEs, surfacing specialists and firms with experience delivering works around live transport infrastructure.
