UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned chewing-gum removal from a 10,000 m² area of Bristol city centre. The work is a public-realm cleaning service, classified under refuse and waste-related services, intended to remove gum from the city-centre area. The requirement was funded through a grant secured by the council from the Chewing Gum Task Force/Keep Britain Tidy. The stated scope is removal of chewing gum; no wider street-cleaning service is described.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bristol City Council used a direct award without competition under the below-threshold route. NORDIC PRODUCTS & SERVICES LTD was selected. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 21 September to 28 October 2026; the gum-removal work was required to be completed by 28 October 2026. The contract value is £27,500 excluding VAT (£33,000 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the city-centre gum-removal service. The published information gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria.

This award shows Bristol City Council buying a defined, grant-funded chewing-gum removal service for a substantial city-centre area. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to deliver targeted gum removal across public spaces and complete the work within a short, fixed delivery period. Relevant experience in public-realm cleaning and refuse or waste-related services would help demonstrate fit with the requirement. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so this process does not establish a competitive evaluation model or published supplier qualifications for future work.
