Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited commissioned ground investigation works for the M18 Greenland Lane Deck Structure Replacement scheme in North East England. The work supports the planned replacement of the deck structure and comprises intrusive investigations, borehole drilling, in-situ testing and sampling, laboratory testing, and factual reporting. The investigation results are intended to inform the replacement works. This is a specialist civil engineering and geotechnical ground investigation requirement (CPV 45111250), procured through National Highways’ Ground Investigation Framework, Lot 2 covering North-East and Yorkshire. The delivery location is identified as the North East; no more precise place is stated. The buyer is National Highways Limited.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Highways selected Strata Geotechnics (Van Elle Limited) through a selective framework call-off. The award was made on 13 August 2026, following a response deadline of 28 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £220,111.55. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The requirement is identified as one ground investigation package, with no separate lot breakdown for this call-off. The available evaluation information does not set out a scoring formula or specific award criteria. The procurement indicates that the opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates National Highways’ demand for intrusive ground investigation to inform major road structure replacement, delivered through its established Ground Investigation Framework. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the capability to plan and carry out borehole drilling, in-situ testing and sampling, arrange laboratory testing, and produce clear factual reports that can inform engineering decisions. Relevant experience in investigations supporting highway infrastructure and structural replacement would align closely with the requirement. Suppliers would also need to be capable of delivering an integrated investigation package across the North-East and Yorkshire framework area. The selected provider was a large company, while the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that suitably capable smaller specialists may be relevant to this type of work.
