Bristol names winners on £288m framework

Bristol City Council has assigned 27 suppliers places on a £288m four-year highway asset management and civils framework.

The framework is split into 10 lots and will run from October 2025 until September 2029.

There is an estimated upper limit on the spending available for each of the lots – these vary in value from £2m to £145m, with the majority of successful contractors assigned to multiple lots.

The lot with the highest limit is number six, which has six assigned contractors – Cambrensis Civil Engineering, ETM Contractors, MJ Church (Plant), Octavius Infrastructure, Taylor Woodrow Infrastructure, and Walters U.K.. 

This lot covers highway civil engineering works over £500,000 and other specialist works.

When questioned by Highways about a disceprancy in the spending tally, Bristol confirmed an error in Lot 10, which should read £800,000 not £80m as an upper spending limit. The council has since published a correction. 

The 10 lots and the successful contractors are:

  • Lot 1: Machine Laid Surfacing: Eurovia Infrastructure, Tarmac Trading, Breedon Trading, and Associated Asphalt Contracting. Spending limit £10m.
  • Lot 2: Surface Dressing and Micro Asphalts: Kiely Bros, Road Maintenance Services, Colas and Hazell and Jefferies. Upper spending limit £6m.
  • Lot 3: Slurry Seal and Preventative Treatments: JPCS, Pronin and Kiely Bros. Upper spending £5.5m limit.
  • Lot 4: Road Markings, Road Studs, High Friction & Coloured Surfacing and Joint/Crack Repair Systems: ETM Contractors, Kelly Bros and Glamorgan White Lining. Upper spending limit £2m.
  • Lot 5: Highways Civil Engineering works up to £499,999: Cambrensis Civil Engineering and Walters U.K.. Upper spending limit £50m.
  • Lot 6: Highway Civil Engineering works over £500,000 and other specialist Highway Engineering works: Cambrensis Civil Engineering, ETM Contractors, MJ Church (Plant), Octavius Infrastructure, Taylor Woodrow Infrastructure, and Walters U.K.. Upper spending limit £145m.
