UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council procured infrastructure enhancement works at Haywood Reservoir. The requirement is categorised as construction and civil engineering work, covering the complete or partial construction works needed to enhance the reservoir’s infrastructure. The work is for the council as the public-sector buyer and is delivered in North Somerset, within the council’s area. This is a works requirement rather than a supply-only or professional services contract. The named requirement is focused on one reservoir site, so businesses considering comparable opportunities should have a relevant construction or civil engineering offer and the ability to undertake infrastructure works in the North Somerset area. The procurement was awarded to E.J. McGrath Construction Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Weston-super-Mare.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and awarded to E.J. McGrath Construction Limited. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 June 2027. Its value is £74,816.94 excluding VAT, or £89,780.33 including VAT. The published outcome identifies the awarded supplier and relates the award to the Haywood Reservoir infrastructure enhancement works. The procedure was limited rather than open competition, with participation managed through a below-threshold limited competition. The available outcome information does not set out a separate quality, price or technical weighting, so the award basis is the selection made through that limited competition.

For businesses that did not win this requirement, the procurement provides a clear example of North Somerset Council’s demand for focused infrastructure and civil engineering works at a reservoir site. A credible competitor for similar council work would need practical construction capability, relevant experience of infrastructure enhancement and the capacity to deliver a defined site-based works package over a medium-term contract period. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the scale and delivery model were accessible to a smaller construction business rather than requiring a major national contractor. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable project delivery, appropriate supervision and the ability to coordinate construction activity safely and effectively at an operational reservoir or comparable infrastructure site.
