Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council procured B714 Diversion Works, a civil engineering and utility-related service associated with the diversion of infrastructure on the B714. The requirement was part of a wider project and concerned works already carried out, with the procurement serving to formally record the expenditure and provide procurement and governance cover. The work falls within public utility services, including the transmission or distribution of gas, and was delivered in connection with North Ayrshire Council’s road infrastructure responsibilities. The council acted as both the buyer and central purchasing body. The named requirement was a single lot and was awarded to Scotia Gas Networks, a large supplier operating from Lyndhurst.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified on the basis that the supplier had statutory powers under the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and the Scottish Road Works Commissioner’s Code of Practice. The works were treated as deliverable only by a particular operator for technical reasons. One bid was recorded, and the award went to Scotia Gas Networks. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active, with a value of £159,783.35 including the stated currency. The recorded contract award date is 18 August 2026.

For future requirements of this type, credible suppliers would need substantial capability in gas-network diversion works and in coordinating utility infrastructure with road or wider construction projects. The procurement indicates that statutory powers and the legal authority to undertake regulated utility works may be decisive, rather than general civil engineering capacity alone. Competitors would also need to demonstrate the technical ability to deliver works that the buyer considers suitable for a particular economic operator, together with experience of working within Scottish utilities and roadworks rules. Relevant organisations should understand the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and the Scottish Road Works Commissioner’s Code of Practice, and be able to support formal governance and expenditure records.
