Bristol Regional Cycling Hub - Early Works
Authority: Bristol City Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTo appoint a contractor to deliver contaminated land remediation works on the proposed Bristol Regional Cycling Hub site.
Bristol City Council recently secured full planning permission to develop the Bristol Regional Cycling Hub (BRCH) within the Merriman's and Henacre Open Space in Lawrence Weston/Shirehampton.
The site for the proposed cycling hub is situated on a former historical landfill where uncontrolled waste disposal occurred during the 1950s. Historical maps indicate that clay pit workings were present in the eastern portion of the site between 1953 and 1971, alongside a refuse heap. By 1982, the site was repurposed as allotment gardens. More recently, it has transitioned into an area of heath and rough grassland, intersected by footpaths and a cycleway. A Rhyne runs along the northern site boundary, flowing towards the west/southwest.
The site has been subject to multiple ground investigations (2003-2025) to assess contamination and geoenvironmental conditions.
The Council wishes to appoint a qualified and competent contractor to undertake land remediation at the proposed site in accordance with the technical scope.

- Price
- Quality

- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
