Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured repair, maintenance and planned construction works for managed accommodation used by refugee families eligible for government-funded resettlement and Ukrainian households arriving in Bristol on sponsor visas. The service supports accommodation for households included in the council’s Bristol Sanctuary Tenancy Scheme. The work covers the council’s managed properties in Bristol and is classified as construction work, including repairs and maintenance. This is a single-lot requirement, rather than separate packages for different types of work or accommodation. The appointed contractor is responsible for delivering both responsive repairs and planned works to the properties. The stated purpose is to maintain accommodation for these resettlement households; the requirement is focused on this housing service rather than general construction across the city.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Jeff Way Electrical Services Limited, a Bristol-based supplier. The award date was 1 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 29 October 2026 to 28 October 2028. The awarded value is £480,000 excluding VAT (£576,000 including VAT). Bristol City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The requirement was arranged as one lot, and four bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier but does not state the evaluation criteria or how bids were scored. The contract covers the repairs and planned works service for the managed accommodation described above.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement, the award indicates demand for a contractor able to handle both property repairs and planned building works across managed accommodation serving resettlement households in Bristol. Credibility will depend on relevant construction and property-maintenance capability, with the capacity to deliver work across a housing portfolio and respond to the needs of occupied accommodation. The selected supplier is an SME, and all four final-stage bidders were SMEs, showing that smaller contractors competed for this single-package requirement. A business with local delivery capacity and experience maintaining accommodation for households with potentially specific support needs would be well placed to demonstrate fit. The work is a focused council housing service, so suppliers should be able to evidence practical delivery of repairs and planned works in this setting rather than rely on unrelated construction experience.
