## Summary

North Ayrshire Council commissioned telecommunications services connected with the B714 diversion works in North Ayrshire. The requirement relates to work carried out as part of a wider project and the procurement records expenditure and governance arrangements for those works retrospectively. The service category is electronic communications, covering the provision or diversion of telecommunications infrastructure associated with the road project. British Telecommunications was the named supplier. The buying organisation is North Ayrshire Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. Delivery was associated with North Ayrshire, with the requirement linked specifically to the B714 diversion rather than a general council-wide telecommunications service. This is therefore most relevant to telecommunications operators, network infrastructure providers and specialist contractors able to support road-related utility diversions and associated communications works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded, with British Telecommunications selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £748,261.09. The council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, relying on an absence of competition for technical reasons. The stated rationale 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 Roadworks Commissioners’ Code of Practice. One bid was recorded, with no SME bids. The procurement was treated as a services contract and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract duration or end date is stated.

This award indicates a requirement for a telecommunications provider able to undertake infrastructure diversion works alongside a road project, manage the technical interface with construction activity and support the related public-sector governance process. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in electronic communications networks, utility diversion planning, street works coordination and delivery on transport or civil engineering projects. Familiarity with the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016, the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 and the Scottish Roadworks Commissioners’ Code of Practice would be important, particularly where statutory powers or approvals affect delivery. The single bid and technical rationale show that the buyer valued access to relevant network infrastructure and legal powers, so suppliers without comparable rights, infrastructure ownership or established arrangements with network operators may be poorly placed.
