Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Balfour Beatty Vinci HS2 is actively seeking a subcontractor for the "BBV HS2 MWCC North - Soil surveys" tender, classified under services relating to contaminated soil (CPV: 90522000). The project involves conducting post-reinstatement soil surveys and developing aftercare management plans for agricultural land parcels in sectors N1 and N2 of the IPT Area North. These lands have been temporarily used for HS2 railway construction and need reinstatement to their original condition. The procurement, currently at the tender stage, was published on 14th August 2025, with interested parties required to submit by 1st September 2025. The contract is valued between £500,000 and £1,000,000 and will last from 25th November 2025 to 30th December 2030. The work is associated with multiple regions, including but not limited to the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and Europe.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in soil surveys, particularly those meeting the British Society of Soil Science ALC Competency Standards. It poses a lucrative opportunity for well-established firms capable of performing comprehensive soil analysis and creating effective aftercare plans over several geographic locations. Additionally, businesses specialising in non-intrusive drainage surveys may also find this project well-suited to their capabilities. While the procurement is not limited to SMEs or VCSEs, it offers substantial growth potential for firms looking to expand their portfolio in the infrastructure and environmental sectors.

Notice Information

Notice Title

BBV HS2 MWCC North - Soil surveys

Notice Description

BBV is seeking a Subcontractor to carry out post reinstatement soil surveys and aftercare management plans on Sectors N1 and N2 of the IPT Area North for Schedule 16 land parcels, which are agricultural land parcels that have been temporarily acquired for the construction of the HS2 railway. Following construction, the Schedule 16 land parcels will be reinstated to a similar condition as the baseline, followed by soil surveys to ascertain that the pre-construction target was achieved during reinstatement. This forms part of the hand over process for agricultural landowners. The post reinstatement soil surveys are to be carried out by a soil specialist who has experience of carrying out field surveys of soils to record physical properties using the Soil Survey Field Handbook. The surveyor should meet the British Society of Soil Science ALC Competency Standards. The report should also include an aftercare management plan which identifies issues that need to be rectified during the 5-year aftercare period, to ensure that the original ALC can be reinstated at the end of the aftercare period. The Subcontractor for this package may also be responsible for carrying out non-intrusive, visual drainage surveys to identify existing outfalls, header drains and lateral drains and proposing any required remediation measures for drains and the surrounding soils.
