UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned utility service diversion and connection work for the M53 Clatterbridge north and south deck replacement. The diversion enables replacement of the bridge’s central deck, extending the structure’s lifespan instead of replacing the whole bridge. The work is bridge-related construction and utility services, delivered at Clatterbridge on the M53.

The procurement is complete and BT Openreach (CIS) Divert / Connect 57903 was selected for the single lot. National Highways used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 23 January 2026 and runs from 23 January 2026 to 29 January 2027. Its value is £156,141.28 excluding VAT (£187,369.54 including VAT).

For suppliers who did not win, this contract shows National Highways buys utility diversion and connection work to enable bridge deck replacement and extend the life of existing structures. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to deliver the relevant service diversions and connections in coordination with bridge works. The awarded supplier’s role indicates that specialist utility-diversion capability is relevant; the procurement does not identify particular accreditations, capacity levels or experience requirements.
