Bristol City Council

Bristol City Council has awarded 1,972 contracts worth £1,636,298,230 to 1,120 different suppliers between 2020 and 2026. Most of its award notices are recorded in South West.

From award notices published on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Contracts awarded through other e-tendering portals are not included, so this is a floor, not a total.

What they have awarded, by year

Our award history is not continuous. We hold notices published January 2021 to July 2022, and September 2022 to November 2022, and July 2023 to August 2026, and nothing published between December 2022 and June 2023 — a gap of 7 months. Any period overlapping that gap is understated here, and the change between periods is not a market trend.

Years with no bar are years we hold no award notices for this buyer — which may mean they bought nothing, or that we do not have that period. We do not fill gaps in.
