Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured refurbishment works for traffic signals at Netham Lock. The requirement falls within highway construction, including foundation and surface works, and is categorised as works. Delivery is in the South West of England. The procurement was made through the council’s highways asset management and civil engineering framework, indicating a requirement for a contractor able to undertake highways-related site works rather than a supply-only contract. The named buyer is Bristol City Council. The scope is focused on renewing or improving traffic signal infrastructure at a specific highway location, so relevant businesses are civil engineering, highways maintenance and traffic systems contractors with the capability to coordinate construction activities around an operational road network.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bristol City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 1 September 2026 at 5:00pm. The contract was awarded on 25 August 2026 to Cambrensis Civil Engineering Limited for £128,860.52 excluding any unstated tax treatment. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The arrangement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the requirement is for one highway traffic-signal refurbishment package. The published procurement category is works, with the underlying classification covering construction, foundation and surface works for highways and roads.

This award is relevant to civil engineering and highways contractors able to refurbish traffic signal infrastructure alongside associated highway construction, foundation and surfacing works. A credible future supplier would need practical experience of working on roads and highway assets, coordinating site activities safely around traffic and delivering a defined refurbishment package for a public-sector client. The framework call-off route shows that access to, or partnership with a contractor on, a highways asset management and civils framework can be commercially important. The selected supplier is an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, demonstrating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business with suitable technical capability, delivery capacity and highways experience.
