Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned rock-face stabilisation works on Suspension Bridge Road in Bristol. The requirement was to install drape mesh on a rock face, helping to secure and protect the roadside structure. The procurement is classified as construction works, with the associated classification describing rock-removal work. Bristol City Council was the public-sector buyer. The delivery location is Bristol, and the work concerns a specific road site rather than a council-wide service. This requirement will be relevant to contractors specialising in rock-face protection, slope stabilisation, rock-removal operations and related civil engineering works. It may also suit firms that install protective mesh systems as part of highway, geotechnical or marine construction projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. Construction Marine Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 10 August 2026. The contract value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 1 January 2027, with a maximum extent date of 1 January 2028. The contract is active and includes a right of renewal, although the extension arrangement does not confirm an extension end date. Variations are available. The published outcome records one active award to Construction Marine Limited for the rock-face works. The procurement used a limited rather than open competition.

This award provides a clear indication of Bristol City Council’s demand for specialist rock-face protection at a defined roadside location and at a modest construction-project scale. Competitors seeking similar council work would need credible capability in installing drape mesh on rock faces, managing rock-removal or associated stabilisation activities, and delivering safely in a constrained highway environment. Relevant experience in geotechnical construction, slope protection, civil engineering or marine construction would help demonstrate suitability for this type of requirement. Suppliers should also be able to manage site-based works for a public authority and provide the practical resources needed to complete a focused infrastructure intervention. The awarded supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of work can be delivered by a specialist smaller contractor rather than only by a major construction group.
