Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured refurbishment and project delivery works for Claremont School, also described as Claremont Redland. The requirement supports the Claremont Redevelopment within the council’s Education Capital Programme. It covers appointing a delivery partner to carry out project delivery activity and construction work associated with the redevelopment. The work is for the council’s education estate in Bristol, with the procuring authority based at City Hall, College Green. This is a works opportunity rather than a supply or standalone consultancy requirement, so it is most relevant to construction contractors and delivery partners with experience of managing and completing refurbishment projects in an operational or public-sector education setting. The requirement was arranged as a single lot covering the overall project delivery activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. E.W. Beard Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 3 April 2026. The contract is active and runs from 4 August 2026 to 27 August 2026. Its value is £336,629 excluding VAT, or £403,954.80 including VAT. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The award concerns construction and refurbishment works for the Claremont School redevelopment. The published outcome identifies one appointed supplier and one completed lot. The short contract period indicates a concentrated delivery requirement, with the successful contractor responsible for completing the specified project activity within the stated period.

This procurement demonstrates Bristol City Council’s demand for construction delivery partners able to undertake focused refurbishment works within its Education Capital Programme. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need practical construction capability, experience delivering refurbishment or redevelopment projects, and the capacity to mobilise and complete a concentrated package of works for a public-sector education client. Experience coordinating project delivery activity, managing site operations, sequencing trades, controlling quality and meeting tightly defined programme requirements would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate that they can act as a delivery partner rather than simply provide individual trades or materials. The appointed supplier’s large-contractor profile indicates that the requirement was suited to an organisation with established delivery resources, construction management capability and sufficient operational capacity.
