Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Bristol City Council involves a project titled "Whitehall Athletics Track Repair and Clean," focusing on construction work under the industry category of works. The contract was awarded to BERNHARDS SPORTS SURFACES LIMITED and involves repairing a section of the athletics track and subsequently cleaning the entire track at Whitehall, with the project located in the region of UKK11, Bristol, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted under a limited competition method due to its below-threshold status, and the tender has moved through to the Award stage, with activities scheduled from 21st September 2026 to 1st November 2026. The formal contract award took place on 30th July 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and maintenance services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, given the nature of the work and the limited competition aspect. Companies specialising in sports surfaces and track facilities are well-suited to engage in similar future tenders, expanding their business growth in the public sector. The targeted procurement method highlights the potential for smaller firms to successfully compete for contracts in specialised areas of the civic infrastructure, alongside fostering growth through opportunities emerging within local government projects.
