Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is procuring consultancy support for development of the Bishop Manor Road FBC. The requirement combines a lead consultant/architect role, principal designer duties for building regulations and CDM, quantity surveying, and commissioning and management of surveys. This is a multidisciplinary built-environment consultancy assignment, rather than a construction works contract. Delivery is in Bristol, in the South West of England. The brief brings design leadership, project cost advice, statutory design-risk responsibilities and survey coordination together to support development of the project’s business case.

The procurement is complete and Constellia Public Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 18 June 2026, at £63,601.25. The contract period runs from 18 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The stated procurement route was award through the AEC3 Framework; the procedure is described as “Other”. The tender deadline was 17 June 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is presented as one combined consultancy requirement, with no separate lots described. The stated evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available process information, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be reported.

For firms tracking future work from Bristol City Council, this award demonstrates demand for integrated consultancy to develop a major-project business case: architectural and lead-consultant input, principal designer capability covering building regulations and CDM, quantity surveying, and survey commissioning and management. A credible competitor would need to coordinate these disciplines and provide advice spanning design development, cost control, design risk and the management of technical surveys. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME; the procurement itself was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The work was routed through the AEC3 Framework, so experience and qualification to operate through that framework may be commercially relevant when this council’s requirement returns to market.
