Summary of the contracting process

National Highways commissioned ground investigation for the M62 Hartshead Moor Services footbridge replacement scheme. The work covers intrusive site investigation, including borehole drilling, in-situ testing and sampling, installation of groundwater and gas monitoring wells, laboratory testing, and factual reporting. It supports the replacement scheme by establishing ground conditions and providing test results for its development. Delivery is in the North East and Yorkshire, at the Hartshead Moor Services location on the M62. National Highways is the buying organisation. This is a specialist ground investigation services requirement, rather than construction of the footbridge itself. The package was procured through Lot 2 of the National Highways Ground Investigation Framework, covering the North-East and Yorkshire area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Van Elle Limited, identified in the description as Strata Geotechnics (Van Elle Limited). The award was made on 25 September 2026, following a selective procedure using a call-off from the framework. The awarded value is £133,320.47. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 12 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 26 September 2026. The process concerns a single framework call-off package, rather than a competition divided into separate lots. The award information identifies the selected supplier, but does not state an evaluation weighting or criteria; the basis on which bids were assessed cannot therefore be described.

This award demonstrates demand from National Highways for site-specific ground investigation to support a road infrastructure replacement scheme, procured through its established ground investigation framework. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work would need to provide intrusive investigation, borehole drilling, in-situ testing and sampling, monitoring-well installation, laboratory testing and factual reporting as a coordinated service. The requirement spans fieldwork and laboratory analysis, so credible competitors need the capacity to deliver those elements for a defined transport-infrastructure site. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of that size can be relevant to this type of requirement. The selected supplier was a large company.
