## Summary

North Ayrshire Council commissioned B714 diversion works as part of a wider project. The requirement concerns utility diversion activity associated with roadworks, formally recorded as services for water distribution. The work was delivered in the North Ayrshire area, with Irvine identified as the council’s base. Scottish Water was the appointed utility supplier. The council acted as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement relates to diverting water infrastructure so that the B714 project could proceed, rather than to a general water-supply service. Businesses with experience in utility diversions, water-network works and infrastructure interfaces would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they work alongside highway or civil engineering projects and understand Scottish roadworks requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Ayrshire Council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated basis was that Scottish Water holds 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 process also records technical absence of competition. One bid was recorded, with no SME bid. Scottish Water received the award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and is active, with a value of £489,732.70. The award documents describe the expenditure as retrospective, providing procurement and governance cover for works already commissioned as part of the wider project.

For competitors, this award shows that North Ayrshire Council has demand for substantial utility diversion work linked to road infrastructure projects, with the requirement routed through a direct, technically justified process. A credible supplier for a future comparable requirement would need proven capability in water-network diversion and reinstatement, safe coordination with highway and civil engineering works, and the operational capacity to deliver complex infrastructure interfaces. Knowledge of 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. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate why their technical capability, statutory position or network ownership enables them to undertake the required works safely and lawfully.
