Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has recently completed a contract titled "Seismic Monitoring and Information," which involved the provision of research services by the British Geological Survey. The contract, with a total value of £164,989.36, was finalised in February 2019 following a direct procurement method, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The service was delivered from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2021, and it was crucial for the Government's risk assessment regarding earthquakes. This public procurement was conducted in London, England, and it is noteworthy that the procurement process has reached the award stage.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in geological and research services, particularly SMES (Small and Medium Enterprises) and VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) that specialise in environmental monitoring and data analysis. As the contract was awarded to a large supplier, future tenders in similar areas may open pathways for smaller organisations to compete actively. These businesses can leverage their expertise in seismic data analysis and monitoring services to participate effectively in future opportunities that arise from government initiatives related to environmental safety and resilience.
