Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council commissioned shopfront and façade improvement works for 44 commercial properties in Kingswood, covering Kingswood High Street, Regent Street and Two-Mile Hill Road. Works at 37 properties include ground-floor shopfront improvements; the other seven involve upper-façade painting and redecoration only. Property-specific work typically covers removing existing signs; fitting painted timber fascia signboards with graphics and new lighting; leadwork; replacing awnings, doors and glazing; and repairing and redecorating upper floors. This is a construction works project, including builders’ carpentry, intended to support the Kingswood High Street regeneration. Delivery is in Kingswood, South Gloucestershire.

The procurement is complete: MOBIUS WORKS LTD was selected and the contract is active. The award was made on 15 April 2026 for £854,654.44 excluding VAT (£1,025,585.33 including VAT). The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs to 15 February 2027, with a possible extension to 16 February 2027 in unforeseen circumstances, although an extension is not anticipated. The council used an below-threshold open competition. One lot covered all 44 properties. Price and quality, including social value, each carried 50% of the evaluation weighting. Seven bids were received and four reached the final stage. Participation required turnover over the previous two years exceeding the contract value, appropriate insurance, relevant resources and evidence of up to three similar successful contracts.

This award shows demand from South Gloucestershire Council for coordinated, multi-property town-centre façade and shopfront refurbishment, combining timber sign fabrication and installation with lighting, leadwork, replacement glazing, doors and awnings, and external painting and repair. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to manage varied, property-specific scopes across a group of commercial premises, coordinate subcontractors where used, and demonstrate delivery of similar construction contracts. Financial capacity matters: the selection requirement included turnover over the previous two years exceeding the contract value, alongside evidence of financial standing and suitable insurance. Suppliers also needed the people and technical resources to deliver compliantly, plus evidence addressing health and safety, environmental and quality management, equality and corporate social responsibility under the Common Assessment Standard. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for the work.
