Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Kirklees Council procured core hole drilling works for delivery across Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement covers specialist drilling activity, classified as core drilling, and was run as a further competition through the KNH-003 Subcontractor Dynamic Purchasing System. It is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy opportunity. The council is the public-sector buyer and the geographic focus is the Yorkshire and the Humber area. The procurement is relevant to contractors able to carry out core hole drilling work in this area, particularly smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the opportunity identifies as suitable organisation types.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure: a call-off from the KNH-003 Subcontractor Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender submission deadline was 6 July 2026 at 1pm. Kirklees Council awarded the contract to M A Kettlewell on 18 August 2026 for £132,000. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2029. The published tender value and awarded value are both £132,000. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The available procurement information identifies the requirement as a single core hole drilling works contract for Yorkshire and the Humber.

This award demonstrates established demand from Kirklees Council for specialist core hole drilling delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. A competing supplier would need practical capability in core drilling and the capacity to deliver works across Yorkshire and the Humber over a multi-year contract. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist contractors are relevant potential competitors. The successful supplier profile indicates that an SME can secure this type of council work. Businesses considering future opportunities with this buyer should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable drilling delivery, sufficient operational capacity for the required geographic area, and familiarity with selective call-off competitions through a dynamic purchasing system.
