UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned United Utilities Water Limited to carry out water utility diversion works for the M53 Raby Hall Deck Replacement Scheme. The work comprises statutory diversions of water services needed to enable replacement of the bridge deck and associated improvements to the highway. The requirement is focused on water-distribution infrastructure affected by the scheme, rather than the bridge replacement itself. The work is associated with the M53 Raby Hall scheme; the data does not identify a more specific delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to United Utilities Water Limited. National Highways used a direct award without competition, described as below threshold. The award is for one lot. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 24 July 2026 to 28 January 2028. Its stated value is £822,197.71 excluding VAT, or £986,637.25 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or scored award criteria; the supplier was selected through the stated non-competitive route.

For water utility operators and contractors with the capability to deliver statutory diversion works, this award shows that National Highways may procure utility relocations directly when they are necessary to deliver a major highway scheme. Credible suppliers would need to understand water-distribution infrastructure and be able to coordinate diversion activities with bridge replacement and associated highway improvements. Delivery requires the capacity to undertake enabling works within a live infrastructure project and to work within the relevant statutory utility requirements. United Utilities Water Limited, a large supplier, was selected for this requirement. The opportunity is specific to water service diversions linked to the M53 Raby Hall works; experience in unrelated utility or general construction work alone would not demonstrate a direct fit.
