## Summary

Newport City Council commissioned vegetation clearance works to support restoration of the Monmouth and Brecon Canal. The work covers the canal near the M4 bridge at Brickyard Lane in Allt-yr-yn, continuing to the M4 bridge at Malpas Junction 26 in Shaftesbury, and from Junction 26 at Malpas to the council boundary with Torfaen through Bettws and Malpas. This is site-clearance work, classified under CPV 45111213. The requirement is for a contractor able to clear canal-side vegetation across a linear route spanning several Newport neighbourhoods and working in proximity to canal infrastructure, bridges and transport routes. Newport City Council is the buying organisation and the works fall within the public authority’s canal restoration programme.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot. Newport City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Thomas Brothers Group Limited on 26 August 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 31 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £39,700 excluding VAT and £47,640 including VAT. The awarded category is works, covering the canal vegetation clearance requirement. The contract is active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete. Thomas Brothers Group Limited is the selected supplier for the whole requirement; no separate lot or award values are reported.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for canal vegetation clearance in Newport, delivered as a single package across multiple connected sections and locations. A future competitor would need practical site-clearance capability, suitable equipment and workforce capacity for vegetation removal along canal corridors, including work around bridges, towpath or canal infrastructure and areas close to major roads. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was accessible to an SME with the necessary operational resources. Relevant businesses should be able to evidence comparable vegetation or site-clearance work, safe delivery across a dispersed linear site, reliable mobilisation and the ability to complete seasonal works within a short programme.

## Notice

These works will form part of the restoration of the Monmouth and Brecon canal and will stretch from the canal in close proximity to the M4 bridge near Brickyard Lane (Allt Yr Yn) to the M4 Bridge at Malpas Junction 26 (Shaftesbury) and from the Junction 26 at Malpas to the border of the authority with Torfaen (through Bettws & Malpas).
