Summary of the contracting process

Thornbury Town Council procured works for Mundy Playing Fields: the supply and installation of a sewage treatment plant and a new potable water supply of approximately 400 metres. The scope covers drinking-water infrastructure, pipework, pipes and fittings, and construction work for water and sewage pipelines. The work is for the playing-fields site in Thornbury, with the council based at the Town Hall. This is a civil engineering and utilities requirement rather than a routine plumbing maintenance service. It would suit contractors able to manage both sewage treatment installation and potable-water connections as a single site package, including associated excavation, pipeline construction and commissioning. The procurement is classed as works and was below the relevant threshold.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. It had one lot, marked suitable for SMEs, and attracted two final-stage bids. The estimated value was £90,000 excluding VAT, or £108,000 including VAT. Questions closed at 12:00 on 29 June 2026 and tender submissions closed at 12:00 on 10 July 2026; hard-copy submissions were required. The award was made on 14 July 2026 to FASTFIX DRAINAGE AND PLUMBING LTD for £88,158 excluding VAT, or £105,789 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 26 September to 5 November 2026, with a maximum extent to 30 November 2026. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 11 September 2026. Evaluation details were set out in the technical specification.

This award shows that Thornbury Town Council buys combined sewage-treatment and potable-water infrastructure as a site package, with a requirement substantial enough to attract two bids while remaining suitable for an SME. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supplying and installing sewage treatment plants, constructing approximately 400 metres of potable-water pipework, and providing the associated pipes, fittings and water and sewage pipeline works. Delivery planning should account for geological conditions that may require rerouting, maintaining access along the access road, coordination with Bristol Water for the potable-water connection, and weather and ground conditions. The council’s use of an open, below-threshold competition indicates that a capable local or regional utilities and civil-engineering contractor could be well placed when comparable work is commissioned.
