The process follows a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. The contract was awarded to EPS (Geomatics) Ltd, with an active contract period starting on 5th March 2025 and ending on 31st July 2025. The services category falls under ground investigation work and services, coded under CPV 45111250 and 71351500, respectively.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for growth in the grounds investigation services sector, particularly for companies adept in delivering comprehensive surveys for sports facility developments. Although the procurement method was restricted, indicating the involvement of specifically invited entities, businesses with an established reputation and capability in geomatics or similar fields would find competing in future opportunities rewarding. As the buyer, the University of Worcester's focus on developing sport-related infrastructure suggests a potential for ongoing projects and opportunities within similar realms, highlighting trust and sustained engagement for credible service suppliers in the area.
