Summary of the contracting process

Kier Infrastructure is seeking Explosive Ordnance Clearance (EOC) engineer site surveys to support design development and environmental impact assessment for one of its contracts. The programme includes both non-intrusive and intrusive surveys, with EOC surveys supporting intrusive work in areas assessed as having medium or high unexploded ordnance (UXO) risk. This is specialist ordnance survey work, with explosives detection also identified in the procurement classification. Delivery locations include the East of England and South East, as well as the UK and a broad range of overseas locations, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and British Overseas Territories. Kier Infrastructure is the buyer and is seeking to establish a dedicated supply chain for this programme.

Kier invited suppliers to submit offers for the survey work through a tender. The tender was published on 28 September 2026, with submissions due by 5pm on 8 October 2026. The stated contract period runs from 27 October 2026 to 26 November 2027. The estimated contract value is £100,000 to £150,000. The scope is presented as a programme for one contract rather than divided into separate lots. The procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or detailed eligibility conditions. The published requirement indicates that the work concerns both non-intrusive and intrusive surveys, with the EOC engineer surveys specifically supporting intrusive activities in medium- and high-risk UXO areas.

This opportunity is suited to specialist UXO and ordnance-survey businesses able to provide Explosive Ordnance Clearance engineer site surveys and support intrusive site activities in medium- or high-risk areas. Suppliers need capability across both non-intrusive and intrusive survey work, and the ability to contribute evidence and survey outputs that support design development and environmental impact assessment. The buyer is seeking a dedicated supply chain, so firms able to deliver repeat survey requirements for a programme, rather than a single isolated visit, are well placed. Delivery may be required across multiple UK and overseas locations, making geographic reach and the capacity to mobilise to varied sites relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to compete.
