Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured demolition works at the former Treetops Children’s Centre, now identified as the Freshways Resource Centre in Knovill Close, Lawrence Weston, Bristol. The work covered demolition of the Freshways resource centre and two external garage buildings, together with associated site works to make the ground level match the adjacent land. This is a construction and demolition requirement, classified under CPV 45111100 for demolition work. The work was for a single site in Bristol and was bought by the council as the public authority responsible for the procurement. The requirement therefore suits contractors able to undertake building and outbuilding demolition and leave the site safely and suitably finished to the surrounding level.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Pennys Group Ltd. Bristol City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026, with a contract period from 13 July 2026 to 20 July 2026. Its value was £49,319 excluding VAT, or £59,182.80 including VAT. The award was for the single demolition works lot and is recorded as active. The award outcome shows Pennys Group Ltd as the selected supplier. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as works and the procedure as a limited competition; it does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting. The short contract period indicates a tightly defined demolition and site-making-good project.

This completed award is a useful benchmark for demolition contractors targeting Bristol City Council. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience demolishing a main building alongside smaller external structures, managing the work safely on an occupied or community-related site, and completing associated clearance and making-good works rather than stopping at structural demolition. Relevant capability includes site surveys, isolation and removal of services, controlled demolition, waste handling, protection of adjacent land and buildings, and accurate ground-level finishing. The award also indicates demand for a focused SME-scale delivery team able to complete a defined site package quickly. Contractors with strong local mobilisation, suitable plant, competent personnel and evidence of comparable council or public-sector work would be well placed when this requirement returns.
