Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process aimed at establishing a Highways Labour Framework for Street Lighting, Grounds Maintenance, and Traffic Signals. This framework is intended to expand the council's in-house Place Operations workforce. Key aspects of this closed, multi-supplier framework include lots focused on street lighting, grounds maintenance, and traffic signal work. The procurement is categorised under services with an estimated gross value of £6,000,000 and will commence from 1st April 2027, concluding on 31st March 2031. The initial notice was issued on 8th June 2026, with further procurement communication anticipated by 1st October 2026. This procurement process is located in the UK, more specifically within the region of Bristol.

This procurement initiative presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in public infrastructure and related services. Companies providing industrial and commercial labour services, particularly those offering skilled personnel for street lighting, grounds maintenance, and traffic signals, will find this framework fitting their capabilities. The framework’s structure as a multi-supplier agreement is particularly advantageous for SMEs, allowing them to compete and potentially collaborate in fulfilling the council's requirements. Businesses capable of providing efficient and effective labour solutions in line with the outlined lots will find this a valuable opportunity to expand their operations and forge long-term partnerships with a key public authority.
