UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned works at Troopers Hill in Bristol to install a catchment fence on a rock face. The requirement is a site-based civil engineering and groundworks project intended to manage material falling or moving from the rock face. It includes rock-related works classified under CPV 45111212, described as rock-removal work. The contracting authority is Bristol City Council, which is responsible for the requirement and the resulting works. Delivery is in Bristol, at Troopers Hill. This opportunity is relevant to contractors with experience in rock-face works, catchment or protective fencing, ground stabilisation and associated civil engineering activity in an urban or publicly managed environment.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Bristol City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Construction Marine Limited. The award was dated 28 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £110,000 excluding VAT, or £132,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 1 January 2027, with a maximum possible end date of 1 January 2028. Renewal is allowed, although the stated renewal arrangement has no defined extension date. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows Bristol City Council’s demand for specialist site works addressing rock-face risks, combining protective infrastructure with rock-related groundworks. A credible future competitor would need practical experience installing catchment fencing and working safely on or beside exposed rock faces, together with the equipment, supervision and site controls needed for civil engineering in a constrained public setting. Evidence of completing comparable stabilisation, rock-removal or protective-fencing projects would help demonstrate technical competence. Suppliers should also be able to manage the coordination, quality control and delivery discipline expected by a local authority. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that capacity to resource a defined works package is relevant, although the requirement itself may also suit capable specialist contractors and delivery partners.
