Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured structural repair works for its housing stock across the city. The requirement covers construction work (CPV 45000000) intended to address structural defects and maintain the safety and condition of council housing. The buying organisation is Bristol City Council, based at Sandy Park Depot in Brislington, Bristol. Delivery is associated with Bristol and the wider England location stated for the requirement. This is a works contract rather than a supply or professional services opportunity, so relevant businesses are structural repair contractors, building contractors and construction firms able to work on occupied or managed housing stock. The council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to businesses with the capability to deliver council housing structural repairs at citywide scale.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 23:59. The contract was awarded to Ashcroft Services Ltd on 13 August 2026 for £250,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The requirement was treated as construction works, with the procurement using an open competitive route. The award is active, confirming that a supplier was selected for the structural repair requirement. Bristol City Council’s stated tender value was £250,000, matching the awarded value. The published outcome identifies Ashcroft Services Ltd as the single awarded supplier. The procurement was assessed as suitable for SMEs and unsuitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need demonstrable capability in structural repairs and general construction work across council housing. Relevant experience would include diagnosing structural defects, planning remedial works, managing health and safety, coordinating with residents and housing teams, and completing repairs to an acceptable standard in occupied or managed properties. A supplier would also need enough operational capacity to respond across a citywide housing stock rather than at one isolated site, while controlling subcontractors, scheduling and quality assurance. The award to an SME shows that a smaller specialist or construction business can satisfy this buyer when it has suitable delivery resources and evidence of comparable work. Businesses should monitor Bristol City Council’s housing repair demand and build a clear record of reliable structural repair delivery.
