Bristol City Council recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Air Balloon Primary - Roof Works," which falls under the construction industry category. The tender aimed to secure a contractor for both pitched and flat roof works at Air Balloon Primary. Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority, led this initiative. The procurement process commenced with an open competition, below the threshold, allowing for broad participation. The contract was awarded on 25th July 2025 to Ashcroft Services Ltd, a Bristol-based SME, with the procurement reaching completion on 31st October 2025. The project was located in the UK's South-West region (UKK11), specifically in Bristol.

Ashcroft Services Ltd's successful bid showcases the chance for similar-sized enterprises to engage in open competition processes for public works. Companies skilled in construction work, particularly roofing, and those able to demonstrate competitive pricing alongside quality outcomes, are well-positioned to partake in such projects.
