## Summary

North Ayrshire Council procured services associated with the B714 diversion works. The requirement concerned retrospective expenditure for diversion works carried out as part of a wider project, with the procurement used to formally record how the works were commissioned and provide procurement and governance cover for expenditure already incurred. The CPV classification indicates telephone network maintenance services, suggesting that the requirement included telecommunications infrastructure affected by the diversion. The work was procured by North Ayrshire Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. The contract covered one lot and related to the B714 diversion requirement. Vodafone Limited was identified as the supplier for the completed requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and is marked complete. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, based on the supplier’s statutory powers under the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and the Scottish Roadworks Commissioners’ Code of Practice. The stated rationale was that the services could be provided only by a particular operator for technical reasons. Vodafone Limited was awarded the single lot. One bid was recorded, with no SME bids and one non-EU foreign bid. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active, with a value of £629,778.07. North Ayrshire Council is the buyer.

For suppliers monitoring North Ayrshire Council’s future infrastructure requirements, this award demonstrates demand for telecommunications network services connected with road diversion works and wider public projects. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to maintain or divert telephone network infrastructure while associated civil engineering works are carried out. The procurement route also indicates that statutory utility powers, roadworks legislation and the Scottish Roadworks Commissioners’ Code of Practice were central to the buyer’s justification. Relevant experience should therefore include coordinating network changes with transport or construction projects, managing infrastructure interfaces and working within Scottish roadworks governance requirements. The requirement was delivered by a large telecommunications operator, so suppliers would need sufficient operational capacity, specialist network expertise and the ability to support council-led infrastructure projects at comparable scale.
