UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured works to replace the underground water main serving the lodges at Temple Newsam in Leeds. The requirement arose because the water supply had failed, leaving the tenant without fresh water, and the mains valve also required urgent replacement. The work falls within water-main refurbishment construction, covering the physical replacement and associated water-main and valve works needed to restore the supply. Delivery was in the Leeds area. The council was the buying organisation and awarded the requirement as a single works package. This is a focused utility-infrastructure project rather than a broad facilities-management or general construction requirement, so it is most relevant to contractors with practical experience of water-main replacement and repair in operational or occupied sites.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to MCNAIR UTILITIES LIMITED, a Leeds-based SME. Leeds City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 21 August 2025 and ran from 21 August to 20 September 2025. Its value was £38,500 excluding gross additions, with a gross value of £46,200. The award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation details are reflected in the direct-award route rather than a competitive scoring exercise. The requirement was handled as one completed lot. The outcome indicates that the council selected a supplier for an urgent, discrete water-main replacement project, with the award and contract period recorded against the Temple Newsam works.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to demonstrate hands-on capability in water-main refurbishment, underground utility works and mains-valve replacement. The project shows demand for a contractor able to respond to a failed water supply, work safely around lodges or other occupied council property, and restore essential water infrastructure promptly. Relevant firms are likely to be small or specialist utilities contractors as well as larger civil-engineering businesses with suitable in-house teams or trusted subcontractors. Practical experience of diagnosing failures, isolating existing mains, replacing pipework and valves, testing the repaired supply and managing site disruption would strengthen a supplier’s position. Local knowledge of Leeds and the ability to mobilise efficiently would also be commercially useful for this buyer.
