UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is actively planning a tender titled "Mobile Concessions in Parks & Green Spaces," which focuses on providing services through mobile concessions across various parks and green spaces in the Bristol region (UKK11). This procurement process, classified under the "services" category with a concession special regime, has been updated as of 21st May 2025. The contract period is planned to start on 1st April 2027 and end on 1st April 2030. Interested parties should note the future notice date set for 2nd April 2026. The Council operates as a sub-central government public authority, and inquiries can be directed to their contact, Tom Lynes, via the provided email.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in mobile services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the procurement is suited to these organisations. The amendment from a works to a services contract further broadens the potential for businesses offering innovative and flexible service solutions to engage in Bristol's vibrant public spaces. Companies in the 'other services' industry segment, particularly those capable of offering adaptable mobile solutions, will find this opportunity significant for expanding their market footprint in the public sector.
