## Summary

Leicestershire County Council procured civil engineering works for the A511 Bardon Link Road bridge project. The requirement was to divert an existing Severn Trent water main because it lies within the footprint of the proposed bridge and its temporary works, including launch platforms, support zones and construction access areas. The works include installing the diverted main using a bridge push methodology, together with associated temporary works, before the main bridge construction begins. The work is located around the Bardon Link Road in Leicestershire, with the council acting as buyer. This is infrastructure and utility diversion work, relevant to water-main engineering, utility relocation, civil engineering and construction contractors working on transport infrastructure.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with Severn Trent Water Limited selected as supplier. It was a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition, made to Severn Trent as the statutory undertaker responsible for the existing water main. The award date was 14 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £707,197.13 excluding VAT, or £848,636.56 including VAT. The requirement was treated as works and classified as complete civil engineering or construction works. There was one completed lot and one award; the contract is active.

This award shows that Leicestershire County Council requires specialist utility-diversion capability to remove conflicts between existing water infrastructure and major highway structures. A credible future competitor would need experience planning and delivering water-main relocations within live infrastructure environments, coordinating closely with a statutory water undertaker and a principal transport-infrastructure project. Relevant capability includes civil engineering delivery, water-main installation, bridge-interface works, temporary works design and construction, launch platforms, support zones and controlled construction access. Contractors would also need to demonstrate safe sequencing around bridge construction, utility protection, technical assurance and reliable delivery of complex site works. The requirement suits established utility, civil engineering and infrastructure contractors able to manage statutory interfaces and construction risks at substantial project scale.

## Notice

Diversion of an existing Severn Trent water main to facilitate the construction of the Bardon Link Road bridge, including its installation via a bridge push methodology and associated temporary works. The existing water main currently lies within the footprint of the proposed bridge structure and its temporary works, including launch platforms, support zones, and construction access areas. In its current position, the asset presents a significant constraint to the safe and efficient delivery of the bridge works, necessitating its relocation prior to main construction activities. This is a direct award to Severn Trent Water as the statutory undertaker for the works
