Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, located in Corsham, England, has completed a public procurement process titled '715807477 Site Surveys CAN', within the industry category of ground investigation services. This process was conducted using a selective method approach through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement stage reached is 'Award', with the contract awarded on 26th June 2026 and published on 2nd July 2026. This contract, valued at £131,599, encompasses service deliveries across multiple locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

Businesses seeking growth in the defence sector and services that are drawn from complex, international operations would be well-positioned to compete in similar procurement activities.
