## Summary

South Gloucestershire Council procured infrastructure works to support the reintroduction of grazing cattle on Siston Common. The scope covered drainage, cycle cattle grids, fencing and gate installation, identified through a funded survey. This is a construction and land-management works requirement, with construction work classified under CPV 45000000. Delivery is at Siston Common in South Gloucestershire. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement concerns practical site infrastructure rather than livestock supply or ongoing agricultural services, so it is most relevant to contractors able to undertake rural access, drainage, fencing and gate works in a public open-space setting. The works support cattle grazing while accommodating cycle access and managing the common safely.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to CABOT LANDSCAPES LTD. It was a single-lot, below-threshold direct award without competition, using the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 6 August to 30 October 2026, with an option to extend by two months to 30 December 2026 if required. Its value is £44,811.25 excluding VAT, or £53,773.50 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was below the relevant threshold. The published outcome identifies one supplier for the complete installation requirement; no competitive evaluation basis was used because the contract was awarded directly without competition.

This award indicates demand from South Gloucestershire Council for contractors able to deliver coordinated rural infrastructure works for grazing and public access. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in land drainage, cattle-grid installation, rural fencing, gates and associated construction works, with the capacity to manage several workstreams on one common. Experience working around public paths, cycle routes, open countryside and livestock would be commercially relevant because the requirement combines access management, animal containment and site infrastructure. Contractors should be able to work from survey-led requirements and deliver physical works safely in a public setting. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that this scale and type of council works can be undertaken by a specialist smaller business.
