Decision details

Following a tender process via the Council’s Highways Framework, the first phase of the East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood scheme is due to be installed during the autumn of 2024.
This officer decision notice is in relation to awarding the contract to the successful contractor, ETM ltd with a bid of £473,862.64.
A previous delegated decision on 4 April 2023 authorised the Executive Director for Growth and Regeneration, in consultation with the Committee Chair and the S151 officer to take all steps required to procure and award all necessary contracts up to the value of £1.371m (including any individual contracts over £0.500m) to deliver the scheme, which this 473k sits under

To approve the tender report to commence the construction of the trial East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood project.

Option 1 - The only alterative option would be not awarding the contract, but this would mean the project would be abandoned and the 6 million pounds capital funding for the project would be lost. There is a risk we would also have to give back capital funding we have spent to date which would put a financial pressure on the council.
