## Summary

North Somerset Council commissioned works to infill a ditch and install culverting at Haywood Reservoir in North Somerset. The requirement is classified as drainage works and concerns physical construction and water-management activity rather than consultancy, supplies or routine maintenance. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work is associated with the Haywood Reservoir site. This opportunity is therefore relevant to civil engineering, drainage, culverting, earthworks and related construction businesses with the equipment, site management and practical capability to deliver works in a reservoir or similar infrastructure setting. Contractors serving North Somerset and the wider South West may be particularly well placed, although the requirement is defined by the site and work type rather than a wider regional service programme.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to E.J. McGrath Construction Limited through below-threshold limited competition. One lot covered the ditch infill and culverting works. The award was made on 26 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 June 2027. Its value is £50,319.01 excluding VAT, or £60,382.81 including VAT. The selected supplier is recorded as an active small or medium-sized enterprise. The underlying procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition. The award relates to drainage works at Haywood Reservoir, with North Somerset Council as buyer and the tender status recorded as complete.

This award provides a clear indication of North Somerset Council’s demand for small-scale civil engineering and drainage construction at reservoir infrastructure. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience in ditch infill, culvert installation and associated earthworks, with the practical ability to manage excavation, water flow, ground conditions, access and site safety. Relevant firms are likely to be specialist drainage or civil engineering contractors, including capable SMEs able to deliver a defined construction package without the resources of a major framework operation. Evidence of comparable completed works, suitably qualified site personnel, reliable plant and supply-chain arrangements would strengthen a future response. Businesses already operating in North Somerset or nearby South West locations may also benefit from familiarity with local access, terrain and delivery constraints.
