Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council commissioned the urgent removal of Peros Bridge after it was damaged. The requirement is civil engineering and construction work to remove the bridge safely. The work is located in Bristol. The contract concerns a single requirement rather than a package of distinct workstreams, and the recorded scope focuses on removal rather than wider bridge replacement or repair.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Keynvor Morlift Limited. Bristol City Council used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 9 October to 30 November 2026. Its value is £282,910 excluding VAT, or £339,492 including VAT. The award was made on 8 October 2026. The process comprised one lot, covering the bridge removal requirement. The recorded evaluation basis and supplier-selection criteria are not set out in the available process details.

This award shows Bristol City Council’s demand for specialist civil engineering and construction capability to remove damaged bridge infrastructure safely. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need the technical expertise, plant, workforce and project management capacity to assess and carry out a time-critical removal in an urban setting, while managing public safety and the risks associated with damaged structures. Experience delivering bridge or comparable structural removal work would be relevant evidence of capability. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that a specialist SME can deliver this type of requirement at the scale involved. The route used here was a direct award without competition, so the award provides evidence of the buyer’s requirement and chosen delivery model, rather than a competitive evaluation benchmark.
