Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured building regulations consultancy services for Norton House and Spencer House in England. The work covers Spencer Building’s safety regulator Gateway 2 requirements and Norton House’s building regulations applications for a communal rewiring project. It falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000). This is a professional services requirement rather than construction delivery itself, focused on regulatory, compliance and application support associated with building safety and electrical works. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist building regulations consultancies and firms providing building safety or technical compliance advice.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bristol City Council selected Constellia Public Ltd on 19 May 2026. The awarded contract value is £35,857.14. The contract period runs from 21 May 2026 to 1 December 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 30 April 2026 at 12:00 noon. The requirement was treated as a services contract covering the consultancy work for both houses. The available procurement outcome records one active award to Constellia Public Ltd; the award value is the same as the tender’s stated value. The process is complete, so this contract is no longer at bidding stage.

For competitors, this award demonstrates demand from Bristol City Council for specialist advice supporting building safety approvals and building regulations applications linked to communal electrical infrastructure. A credible future supplier would need practical knowledge of the building safety regulator’s Gateway 2 process, building regulations compliance, technical application preparation and the coordination of consultancy input for occupied or communal residential buildings. Experience translating proposed rewiring works into compliant regulatory submissions would be relevant, alongside the capacity to manage requirements across more than one property and provide advice over a multi-year service relationship. The award also indicates that an SME-scale consultancy can satisfy this type of council requirement.
