Summary of the contracting process

Bath and North East Somerset Council procured the Bear Flat Works Option C scheme, covering construction and engineering works for highways and related infrastructure. The scope includes road construction and surface work, foundations for roads, streets and footpaths, and construction work for engineering works. The classification also refers to inflatable building construction, although the published description does not explain how this relates to the wider scheme. The work is to be delivered in England. This is a works requirement rather than a supplies or standalone professional-services contract, and is aimed at a contractor able to manage physical highway construction alongside associated engineering and inspection activities for the council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly through the Pagabo Civils Framework, rather than run as an open competition. The award was made on 17 July 2026 to M Group Highways Ltd for £1,100,000. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 December 2026, with the works required by 31 December 2026. The published tender value and awarded value are both £1,100,000. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route, with no separate lot structure or competitive evaluation criteria recorded. Bath and North East Somerset Council is the buyer, and the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future requirements from Bath and North East Somerset Council, this award demonstrates demand for sizeable, time-bound highway construction and engineering work delivered through a public-sector framework. A credible competitor would need practical capability in highway construction, road and surface works, foundations for roads and footpaths, and the associated engineering and inspection disciplines. It would also need the operational capacity to coordinate several linked workstreams and complete construction to a fixed delivery deadline. The selected supplier’s classification as a large organisation indicates that the buyer accepted a contractor with substantial resources and delivery infrastructure, rather than positioning this requirement for smaller or voluntary-sector providers. Framework access and experience of comparable highway schemes would be commercially relevant when building a future proposition to this council.
