Summary of the contracting process

South Gloucestershire Council commissioned works to replace a defective old stone culvert at Park Lane, Frampton Cotterell. The existing culvert was dilapidated, with numerous collapses and significant root ingress, and was no longer maintainable. The requirement was for a new 600mm-diameter high-density polyethylene (HDPE) culvert, including all supervision, labour, plant and materials. This is civil engineering and construction work, classified under CPV 45000000. Delivery was in South Gloucestershire, with the council as the buying organisation. The requirement covers a single culvert replacement scheme rather than a wider maintenance service or framework. It would suit contractors able to undertake small-scale drainage and highway infrastructure works, including site preparation, installation and associated construction activities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to Matt Durbin Associates Limited, an SME, without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award date and contract signing date were 6 August 2025. The contract ran from 6 August 2025 to 31 December 2025 and remains recorded as active. The awarded value was £410,531 excluding VAT and £492,637.20 including VAT. South Gloucestershire Council made one award for the single culvert replacement requirement. Evaluation was therefore based on the council’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender assessment. The process used one lot, covering the replacement of the Park Lane culvert at Frampton Cotterell, with the selected supplier responsible for the works and their delivery inputs.

This award demonstrates demand from South Gloucestershire Council for substantial, self-contained drainage and civil engineering works delivered by a capable SME. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need practical experience replacing culverts and other buried drainage assets, diagnosing or working around collapsed structures and root ingress, and managing construction safely on a council site. The required delivery model combines supervision, labour, plant and materials, so relevant contractors would need sufficient operational capacity to provide these resources directly or through reliable supply and subcontracting arrangements. Experience in highway or local-authority infrastructure works, competent site management, and the ability to deliver HDPE culvert installation would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns to market.
