Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured highways civil engineering works at Nags Head Hill and Air Balloon Road in Bristol. The work covers resurfacing footways and parts of the carriageway, relaying kerbs and tactile paving, and changing levels to improve drainage. At Nags Head Hill, the works also include installing a channel in the footway and temporarily relocating existing traffic signals. At Air Balloon Road, the requirement includes two new gullies, a new manhole and a new catchpit connected to the existing drainage system. This is a works contract covering construction, resurfacing and drainage activities, delivered in the South West of England. The buyer is Bristol City Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 May 2026 to Cambrensis Civil Engineering Limited. The award value is £35,251.88 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 11 September 2026. It was a selective procedure using a call-off from Bristol City Council’s Highways Asset Management and Civils Framework, through Lot 5 for highways civil engineering works up to £499,999 excluding VAT. The tender submission deadline was 29 May 2026 at 12:00. The recorded award is active, and the tender’s overall value is £35,251.88. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Bristol City Council for small-scale, practical highways and drainage improvement works delivered through its established civil engineering framework. A credible future supplier would need experience in carriageway and footway resurfacing, kerb reconstruction, tactile paving and level adjustment, together with drainage installation and connections to existing infrastructure. Capability in constructing gullies, manholes, catchpits and footway channels would be directly relevant. Contractors should also be able to manage temporary traffic-signal relocation and maintain safe working arrangements around live roads and pedestrian routes. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can suit a suitably experienced smaller civil engineering business with the capacity to coordinate several linked highway and drainage tasks for the council.
