PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council commissioned B714 diversion works as part of a wider project. The procurement retrospectively records expenditure for works already carried out and provides governance cover for the circumstances in which they were commissioned. The requirement concerns the diversion of infrastructure associated with the B714 and is classified under CPV 71314000, covering energy and related engineering services. The buying organisation is North Ayrshire Council, a local authority and central purchasing body based in Irvine. Delivery is associated with North Ayrshire. Scottish Power is the appointed supplier. The requirement is treated as a single lot and is complete. This is therefore evidence of a specific council need for infrastructure diversion work linked to a road project, rather than a general framework or recurring service arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Scottish Power was selected for the single lot, with one bid recorded and no SME bids. The contract was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated basis was that the supplier has 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 procurement also records an absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £332,658.34. The record describes the expenditure as retrospective for diversion works already carried out, rather than a future delivery period.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need capability in utility infrastructure diversion and associated engineering works for road or wider infrastructure projects. Familiarity with statutory utility powers, street works legislation and the Scottish Road Works Commissioner’s Code of Practice would be important, as would the ability to work within the legal and operational constraints governing utility diversions. The award indicates that the council accepted a supplier whose position was supported by statutory powers and technical circumstances limiting competition. Competitors would therefore need to demonstrate not only construction and engineering capacity, but also the relevant legal authority, utility network expertise and experience of coordinating diversion works within a wider public infrastructure project. The scale is substantial and suited to an established infrastructure or utility operator, or a partnership able to provide equivalent powers and delivery capability.
