Summary of the contracting process

Avon Fire Authority is seeking building and civil engineering works for the redevelopment of the external yard at Bedminster Fire Station, 61 Hartcliffe Way, Bristol. The work covers repairing defective existing drainage and installing new surface-water and foul-water drainage, including interceptors and separators for designated vehicle-washing areas. It also includes replacing external hardstanding and locally remodelling surface levels to improve drainage. The project is for Avon Fire & Rescue Service. This is a construction works requirement, with associated drainage and repair work. The stated delivery address is in Bristol; the station is identified as Bedminster Fire Station.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at 12:00 (UTC). The anticipated contract period runs from 1 February to 31 March 2027. The tender value is recorded as £0 gross, so this figure does not provide a usable estimate of the contract’s commercial value. Evaluation is weighted 60% on price and 40% on quality. The procurement is arranged as one lot. Electronic submission is allowed, using the buyer’s Intend e-tendering portal; suppliers must register and link their account to Avon Fire & Rescue Service to access the opportunity. The process reached the tender stage, when the buyer invited offers.

This requirement is suited to contractors experienced in external civil engineering and construction works, particularly drainage installation and repair, hardstanding renewal and surface-level remodelling. Suppliers should be able to diagnose and repair existing drainage defects, install both surface-water and foul-water systems, and provide suitable interceptors and separators for vehicle-washing areas. The work also calls for coordinated site delivery around an operational fire station and the ability to shape external surfaces to support drainage. Firms able to price competitively while demonstrating the quality of their proposed approach are well placed, given the stated balance between price and quality. The scope is a single-site project in Bristol, rather than a multi-location programme.
