UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Brighter Places is seeking a design-and-build contractor for the construction of 13 apartments at 414 Speedwell Road in Bristol. The requirement covers both design and construction, so it suits businesses able to provide an integrated development service rather than construction-only delivery. The work is categorised as construction work. Brighter Places is the buying organisation, with Randall Simmonds LLP acting as Employer’s Agent and managing the procurement process. The apartments are intended for affordable housing delivery, making relevant residential development experience particularly applicable. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver the project at the specified Bristol site and to coordinate design and construction responsibilities within a single contract.

This procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a selective Competitive Flexible Procedure. The expression-of-interest deadline was 10 October 2026 at 23:59 BST. Seven candidates will be shortlisted for the price tender, followed by contract award after confirmation interviews; the award decision is due by 10 January 2027 at 23:59 UTC. The contract is valued at £2,500,000 gross, including VAT, and is scheduled to run from 1 February 2027 to 1 August 2029, with a possible extension to 1 February 2030. Quality carries 60% of the evaluation and price 40%. The procurement is divided into one lot and allows renewal for JCT relevant events.

The opportunity is aimed at local small and medium-sized enterprises in the Bristol area with a proven track record in affordable housing delivery. It is best suited to a contractor, developer or construction partnership with the capability to take responsibility for both design and build, deliver residential apartments, and manage the associated coordination and delivery requirements. The selection stage will use quality questions to identify a shortlist, so suppliers will need to demonstrate relevant experience and a credible approach before submitting a price. Businesses with established local delivery capacity, affordable housing experience and the resources to undertake a multi-apartment development are well placed to compete. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality than price.
