A shared commitment to local value, SME access and procurement excellence recognised on a national stage.
Constellia, in partnership with Bristol City Council, has been named Contractor of the Year at the UK National GO Awards 2025.
The award celebrates a strategic collaboration focused on increasing access for local SMEs and VCSEs, building internal capacity, and delivering measurable savings and social value across council services.
This recognition is a testament to the leadership and ambition of Niotia Ferguson and the wider Procurement & Contract Management team at Bristol. Their focus, backed by Council support and embraced across all services, has driven real results for the city.
Constellia is proud to support the team as a trusted procurement partner, helping to simplify processes, extend reach, and deliver better outcomes.

“We worked together to form a successful strategic partnership supported by Council Leaders, implemented by the hard work of the Bristol City Council Procurement & Contract Management Team, and utilised by all Council Services and colleagues – which has resulted in recognition and an award by GO Awards 2025. Extremely proud of everyone who has worked hard and been a part of this.
Thanks and well done to all in the Procurement & Contract Management Service and Stuart Hinde, Terence Milner and Rob Levene.” Niotia Ferguson, Head of Procurement & Contract Management, Bristol City Council.
