Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a district and communal heating compliance project called Constellia. The requirement falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, with the practical focus on checking and supporting compliance for district and communal heating systems. The work is delivered in England, for the council’s public-sector estate and heating-related responsibilities. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction-only opportunity. Businesses relevant to this requirement include engineering consultancies, heating compliance specialists, building-services advisers and inspection providers able to assess communal or district heating arrangements and produce the necessary compliance work. The named buyer is Bristol City Council, based at Sandy Park Depot in Brislington, Bristol.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids closed at 12:00 on 17 July 2026, and the award was made on 29 July 2026. Bristol City Council awarded the contract to Constellia Public Limited for £40,000. The contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available procurement information describes the requirement and its service category but does not set out a separate quality, price or other scoring breakdown. The award is active, so this records a selected supplier and an established contract rather than a current bidding opportunity.

This award is useful market evidence for firms serving public-sector district and communal heating compliance requirements. It shows a council buying a defined, short-duration compliance service through an open procedure, with an SME supplier selected. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in district and communal heating systems, compliance assessment, engineering or inspection work, and the ability to deliver a focused assignment for a local authority. Relevant capability may include understanding the regulatory and operational requirements affecting communal heating, producing clear evidence and recommendations, and managing work across public buildings or estates. Firms that combine technical competence with proportionate project management and clear reporting would be well placed when this council assesses similar heating compliance needs again.
