Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council procured additional bus shelters and related bus-stop infrastructure for bus routes along the A432 in South Gloucestershire. The requirement covers the continuing supply and installation of bus shelters and associated infrastructure, including bus-stop shelter construction work (CPV 45213315). The work is classed as goods, with construction activity forming an associated element. Delivery is in South Gloucestershire, serving routes along the A432. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement forms part of the council’s use of a framework for the supply, installation and maintenance of bus shelters by participating authorities. It is therefore relevant to manufacturers, specialist suppliers and installation contractors able to provide bus shelters and associated roadside infrastructure for public transport networks.

This procurement has been awarded following a framework call-off route. The tender closed on 14 April 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 14 April 2026 to Bus Shelters Limited. The awarded value is £95,687.84 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender’s estimated value is also £95,687.84. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The published process describes the method as “Other” and identifies the requirement as a call-off from the NSC framework for bus shelter supply, installation and maintenance. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. A single supplier received the award.

For a supplier that did not win this call-off, the award demonstrates continuing public-sector demand for bus shelters and roadside bus infrastructure from South Gloucestershire Council. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the ability to manufacture or source suitable bus shelters, manage delivery and install structures safely on operational bus routes and public roads. Experience coordinating site works around transport infrastructure, handling associated construction activity and meeting council requirements would strengthen a future offer. Suppliers should also be able to support a framework-based purchasing route and deliver consistently across multiple locations rather than treating each shelter as an isolated supply order. The council’s identification of the requirement as suitable for SMEs indicates that specialist smaller businesses with the relevant supply, installation and project-management capability can be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return.
