Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "GI - M5 J25 Blackbrook Interchange MP206.6-206.8," managed by National Highways, involves geological, geophysical, and other scientific prospecting services. The tender, classified under CPV code 71351000, concluded with an award on 25th September 2025. National Highways, based in Bristol, acted as the buyer. This selective procurement was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, reflecting its status as complete with the awardee being Arcadis (UK) Ltd. The contract period starts on 26th September 2025 and runs until 31st December 2025, with service deliveries scheduled within the South East and South West regions of the United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialised in scientific prospecting services, particularly SMEs, as indicated by National Highways' suitability criteria. The focus on a framework agreement allows companies already within the network to leverage existing relationships. The contract, worth £147,286.30, offers a stable income stream and the chance to demonstrate expertise in works category contracts, potentially leading to further public sector ventures. Larger firms, those capable of handling complex geological investigations like Arcadis, are well-suited for such opportunities given the scale of work and detailed requirements.
