Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has awarded a contract for the "Monitoring and Auditing of the CAZ Finance Assistance Scheme" to T.MISTRY & ASSOCIATES LIMITED. This procurement is managed under a direct award method due to technical reasons and existing relationships, ensuring continuity for the monitoring of air quality and vehicle compliance within Bristol's Clean Air Zone. The contract, valued at £382,200 excluding VAT, is due to run from 1st January 2027 to 31st March 2028, with optional extensions available until 2030. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically traffic monitoring services, and is aligned with the legal standards required by national air quality legislation. The procurement process is in the award stage, with a future signature date scheduled for 26th June 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the environmental monitoring and compliance sectors, particularly those with expertise in traffic monitoring services. As the procurement method indicates a direct award due to technology and relationship factors, businesses that have similar capabilities or who can develop strategic partnerships with existing finance partners could find opportunities in extensions or future project phases. Companies that are experienced in government contracts and have a focus on innovation in air quality management technologies could leverage such projects to enhance their portfolio and expertise, particularly in collaborating with public authorities like Bristol City Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Monitoring and Auditing of the CAZ Finance Assistance Scheme

Notice Description

Bristol City Council monitors air quality and vehicle compliance within the Clean Air Zone (CAZ), while the associated Financial Assistance Scheme provides grants and loans to help residents and businesses upgrade non-compliant vehicles. The purpose of this monitoring is to assess whether NO2 levels are reduced to within legal limits, as required by national air-quality legislation. This contract is to commence a new contract for an existing provision to carry out the monitoring and auditing of the CAZ financial assistance scheme to provide control and governance.

Procurement Information

New Contract: Competition Absent TMA have provided this service since 2022 when they were sub-contracted via ESPO Consultancy Services Framework (Lot 1a). The contract had no further options to extend and Bristol City Counci wishes to directly award the contract to TMA who have the technical expertise required to continue supporting the scheme. They also maintain established working relationships with the two finance partners, and operate an audit-approved process for verifying claims. Bringing in a new supplier would cause such differences or incompatibilities that would cause significant disproportionate costs and technical difficulties in operation or maintenance.
