Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured highway maintenance works in the South West of England under Lot 5, covering carriageway pre-patching repairs. The work involves excavating or cold milling defective carriageway areas to a depth of 100mm, followed by reinstatement using a 60mm binder and course and a 45mm surface course. Road markings must also be reinstated where required. This is a civil engineering and road-surfacing requirement, classified under construction, foundation and surface works for highways and roads. The buyer is Bristol City Council. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large construction business specialising in highway and carriageway repair delivery.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bristol City Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 15 April 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to Connor Construction (South West) Limited on 10 August 2026. The awarded value is £372,265.76 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 30 October 2026. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the selected supplier responsible for the South West carriageway pre-patching works. This outcome identifies the incumbent supplier and the scale of one defined highway maintenance requirement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need practical highway maintenance and road-surfacing capability, including safe excavation or cold milling, accurate work to specified depths, asphalt reinstatement in separate binder and surface layers, and reinstatement of road markings. They would need sufficient plant, materials, skilled operatives and site-management capacity to coordinate carriageway repairs across the South West. Experience delivering comparable pre-patching or structural carriageway repairs would help demonstrate that the business can work to prescribed construction methods and quality standards. The procurement also indicates that Bristol City Council uses a framework call-off route for this type of work, so suppliers seeking similar opportunities should understand framework participation and call-off competition requirements. Smaller businesses and social enterprises were considered suitable for the requirement.
