## Summary

Bristol City Council appointed a provider for scheduled maintenance of 12 traffic-free pedestrian and cycle routes across Bristol. The services cover regular vegetation management, cleansing, removal of obstructions and reporting, supporting the safe operation of cycleways and other traffic-free paths. This is a highways maintenance service, classified under CPV 63712200 for highway operation services. The work is for routes within Bristol and would suit contractors providing practical path and cycleway maintenance, vegetation control, cleansing and obstruction-clearance services, together with the reporting capability needed to manage recurring maintenance activities. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement concerns one overall service lot covering the identified routes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Two bids were received and both reached the final stage; both final-stage bidders were SMEs. Bassitys Ltd was awarded the single lot on 14 September 2026. The award is worth £37,020 excluding VAT and £44,424 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with signature scheduled by 30 September 2026. The published outcome identifies highway operation services as the category and records an active award to Bassitys Ltd. The available procurement information establishes a limited-competition route and the result, but does not set out detailed quality, price or other scoring criteria.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for an integrated, practical maintenance service across a substantial network of traffic-free pedestrian and cycle routes. Competitors would need to show reliable capability in vegetation management, route cleansing, obstruction removal and accurate operational reporting, rather than a single specialist activity in isolation. The requirement also points to the importance of organising scheduled work across multiple routes, maintaining safe and usable paths, and responding consistently to routine maintenance needs. A credible future supplier would benefit from trained field teams, suitable equipment for path and vegetation work, effective scheduling and supervision, and systems for recording and reporting completed activities. The two final-stage bids, both from SMEs, indicate that the scale can be approached by established smaller contractors with sufficient operational capacity.
