Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council procured construction and stabilisation works for the retaining wall at Prior Park College in Bath. The requirement covers structural works to make the retaining wall stable and safe, within the construction works category (CPV 45000000). The work is associated with the council’s public estate and is delivered in the Bath area. This is a single construction requirement rather than a multi-service programme, and the selected supplier is a Bristol-based construction business. Companies considering comparable work for this council should focus on retaining-wall repair, structural stabilisation and associated civil engineering delivery in Bath and surrounding areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded to MOBIUS WORKS LTD, and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 17 August to 2 October 2026. Its value is £359,715.14 excluding VAT and £431,658.16 including VAT. The tender description recorded a contractor tendered sum of £75,686 excluding VAT, which differs from the executed contract value. Evaluation details are not published in the available process information. The contract is active, and the procurement is recorded as complete under the Construction category.

This award indicates demand from Bath & North East Somerset Council for specialist construction capability in retaining-wall repair and structural stabilisation at an operational educational or heritage-related site. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate practical civil engineering and construction experience, including assessing unstable structures, designing or carrying out stabilisation measures, managing site safety and delivering the works within a constrained local setting. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement was suitable for a smaller contractor rather than necessarily requiring a major national construction group. Bristol-based delivery also suggests that firms in the wider West of England may be commercially well placed for similar council requirements.
