Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process titled "South Bristol Cemetery Expansion - Enabling Works" within the services category, focusing on land management tasks such as earthmoving and installation of safety equipment. This project takes place in the South West of England, under the specific location of Bristol (region UKK11). The procurement was initiated directly without competition, in line with legislation 2023/54, and the contract was awarded to A McEwen Smith Agricultural and Commercial Contracting Limited. The contract was signed on 27th April 2026, commenced on 1st May 2026, and is set to complete by 22nd July 2026, with a potential one-month extension available.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in construction services, particularly those experienced in land reclamation and safety installations. Due to the nature of the work, companies with expertise in building demolition, wrecking, earthmoving, and the installation of fencing and safety equipment are well-suited to engage in similar future projects. The procurement method, while direct, indicates upcoming opportunities for contractors who can provide similar indispensable services, fostering potential networking and partnership growth within public authority projects.
